Summary:
The 93955 zip code area of Seaside, California is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, all part of the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District, except for the International School of Monterey and the Dual Language Academy of the Monterey Peninsula, which are public charter schools.
Among the standout schools in the area, George C. Marshall Elementary has the highest overall performance, ranking in the top 50% of California elementary schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The International School of Monterey also performs well, with test scores exceeding the state averages in most subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Seaside High, Martin Luther King, and Central Coast High struggle with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages.
While the top-performing schools excel academically, several schools in the area face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Central Coast High and Martin Luther King. Additionally, most schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage that may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed across the district.
