How well do Pacifica schools perform? In what areas could they use more help?
The Pacifica School District ranks #10 in test scores in San Mateo County, yet the District revenue per student ranks in the bottom of the County’s school districts. Pacifica’s schools have performed well due to the leadership of our school administration and school board and a passionate base of community and parent volunteers. However, student-to-teacher ratios are high, resources are low, and most of our schools offer little but the basic curriculum. In fact, most of our science, art, music, physical education and enrichment programs are provided through volunteer efforts, without professional teacher training or continuity year over year. For our children to receive an education that will position them to compete in a global economy, our schools need additional core educational programs and community financial support.
