For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.52% of 11th-grade students at Pacific High were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 41.97% for the district and 56.96% for the state. The school's performance on the California Science Test (CAST) is also below the district and state averages. Pacific High's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 82.1% to 94.3%, which is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state, ranging from 20.4% to 35.5% in recent years.
