Best Public Schools in Zip Code 93950


Summary:

The 93950 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (1 regular and 1 continuation), and no alternative schools. The standout school in this area is Pacific Grove High School, which is ranked 31st out of 2,323 high schools in California and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students perform exceptionally well on state assessments, with 90.15% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 68.18% proficient or better in Math for 11th grade in 2023-2024. Pacific Grove High School also has a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.1% and a relatively low dropout rate of 8.8%.

Another standout is Monterey Bay Charter School, which performs well above the state average on assessments despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population (18.14% free/reduced lunch). The Pacific Grove Unified School District as a whole appears to be a high-performing district, with all of its schools earning 4 or 5 stars from SchoolDigger. However, there is a stark contrast between the performance of Pacific Grove High and the continuation high school Community High, which highlights the challenges that alternative/continuation schools often face in serving more at-risk student populations.

Chronic absenteeism rates are a concern across the schools, ranging from 8.8% to 70%, which is an area the district may want to focus on improving. The socioeconomic diversity across the schools, as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates, is also noteworthy, ranging from 14.71% at Robert Down Elementary to 70% at Community High. Ensuring equity in educational opportunities and outcomes for all students regardless of background is an important consideration for the district.
