Summary:
The International School of Monterey District contains one elementary school, the International School of Monterey, a K-8 school in Seaside serving 439 students.
This school demonstrates a clear strength in student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.4% that is significantly better than the state average, indicating a positive and supportive school environment. Academically, performance is mixed; while the school excels in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts, outperforming state averages, proficiency in mathematics and science lags behind statewide figures. Notably, the school invests substantially in its students, with per-pupil spending above $16,000.
Parents should note that the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, which contrasts with its strong attendance record and suggests academic results may not be keeping pace with improvements elsewhere. The data shows pockets of excellence, particularly in literacy for older students, but points to a need for focused support in mathematics. The school serves an economically diverse community, with about a third of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
