The California Department of Education has named Pacific Beach High School,
among 18 statewide, as a 2006 Model Continuation High School. Schools applying
for model school designation must demonstrate elements including program
effectiveness, school management, curriculum, instructional strategies,
assessment and evaluation, education climate, and guidance and counseling.
Parents, students, and community members also submit narrative statements
supporting their respective schools. A review team visits finalist schools
before recommending them to the State Superintendent for model school status.
