School Overview

Pacific Grove High sits at the tip of the Monterey Peninsula, where the town's famously charming Victorian streets meet the Pacific Ocean — and the school reflects that same quiet sense of character. It's particularly strong in science, which makes a lot of sense given the proximity to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and some of the richest marine ecosystems on the West Coast. Families who want a tight-knit community feel with genuinely strong academics, and who don't mind trading big-city conveniences for coastal beauty, tend to thrive here.
