Pacific View Charter 2.0

Pacific View Charter 2.0 is an alternative K–12 school in Eureka serving 191 students. In 2025–26, 20% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 11% in math and 6% in science—well below both California and Eureka City Schools in every subject. The most important finding is that Pacific View’s proficiency was substantially below state and district levels across the board.

Math is the school’s relative high point, though it remains far behind comparison schools: its proficiency was 11%, versus 38% statewide and 24% in the district. ELA was 20% (compared with 49% statewide and 38% in the district), while science was 6% (versus 36% and 31%). Pacific View also had the lowest reported results in all three subjects among nearby schools with same-year scores, Redwood Coast Montessori and Northern United - Humboldt Charter. Chronic absenteeism was 24%, above the state’s 18% and the district’s 23%; among nearby schools with same-year figures, it was higher than at Redwood Coast Montessori and Northern United, but lower than at Glen Paul.

The latest graduation results reversed sharply: Pacific View’s rate dropped from 94% in 2024–25 to 67% in 2025–26, while its dropout rate rose from 6% to 33%. The figures show the scale of the change but do not explain it. SchoolDigger’s ranking of 786 of 968, at the 19th percentile with 1 star, applies to Eureka City Schools—not to Pacific View, which has no supplied school-level ranking. As context, Pacific View’s reported student–teacher ratio was 15.2 in 2017–18, and 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. The supplied data include just one year of test scores, so they do not show whether achievement is improving or declining.
