There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful our family is for Pacific Beach Elementary.Before coming to PBE, our daughter struggled both academically and socially at her previous school. She often felt unseen, unheard, and unsupported. Despite our concerns, very little was done to help h
Posted by a parent on 6/30/2026We have been at PBE for 4 years now and we love it! You can really see that teachers and staff care about the students and their achievements are recognized and celebrated. Between 2 kids at the school, we've had multiple teachers and they have all been amazing. It's a very inclusive environment and

Posted by a parent on 8/3/2025Even though the school preaches kindness, the bully environment is running rampant. As long as the bully kid is part of the PTO or donor clique, behavior is overlooked by teachers and administration (even at the highest level). Emphasis is on test scores vs. Children’s well-being.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family’s experience at this school has been exceptional. My wife, who previously taught within the Diocese, has been genuinely blown away by the experience, dedication, professionalism, and care shown by the teachers and staff.The school provides a truly Christ-centered environment that helps children grow into thoughtful, grounded, and compassionate young people who are well prepared academically and highly respected in high school admissions. What stands out most is the strong sense of community and character development woven into everyday life.Even families who are not Catholic feel welcomed, supported, and fulfilled here, which speaks volumes about the culture the school has created.Having looked at other schools and transferring from one into SMA, we have been blown away by the individual attention and quality of academics.We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this special place for our family.Parent Review3mo ago - La Jolla Country Day School
