Pacific Beach Middle School

We never had any huge issues till a few months ago when my child started being severely bullied. Name calling, threats at school and random text threats, complete loss of comfort and safety in school. Initially my child was told to say sorry to the individual who started the bigger bullying piece?! Umm NO! I cannot go into specifics but will say that while we never had a problem with academics we found that the school DOES NOT have a zero tolerance for bullying like we thought (the principal told a friend of mine that that was more in regards to a felony!!) The staff initially seemed understanding, caring and helpful but as the problem persisted they appeared bothered and annoyed. We sadly pulled our child out since no child deserves to go through what they did. *Everyone please make your own judgement on the school you choose to put your child in. This one would have been great if we had not experienced bullying or bullying of that magnitude to be precise.

This is my son's second year at PBMS and we are extremely happy with it. He has fantastic, enthusiastic teachers and he is getting an excellent education. He loves the lunchtime sports leagues and the overall atmosphere of the school. I can only speak for his test scores but he got a perfect score in both categories on the 7th grade state standardized tests.Signed, Happy PBMS Mom

This school may have a new principal, and look like good school on the surface, but don't be fooled! This schol is a breeding ground for racism, sex, and bullying. If you're a working parent who can't dedicate 10+ hours per week at the school, or the parent of a bi-racial child, I highly recommend you do everything within your power to stay out of this school. Sincerely, Concerned working parent of a bi-racial child

I'm just going to say, this school isn't a very good school. It was rated most IMPROVED. It can still be bad, it just improved quite a bit. It may have really fun field trips, clubs, or activities, but unless it's educational we're not learning anything. I, as a kid, LOVE having fun, but I know I need to learn and get good grades. Take notice I'm not trying to offend anyone. Thanks for reading this. Someone in existence
