School Overview

Seaside High sits in a working-class coastal community just north of Monterey, where the ocean views are stunning but the academic challenges are real — the school ranks in the bottom 15th percentile statewide in English, math, and science. Families who are deeply rooted in the Seaside area and connected to Fort Ord's military heritage will find a school that reflects the diverse, tight-knit character of the community, though those prioritizing competitive academics may want to weigh their options carefully. The city itself has an authentic, unpretentious feel compared to its wealthier neighbors on the Monterey Peninsula, making it a genuinely affordable foothold in one of California's most beautiful coastal regions.
