Math was below the state at both schools: 31% at Elementary and Middle and 29% at High, versus 38% statewide. The clearest area-wide concern for parents is math, the only subject in which both schools fell short of the state.
Pescadero High stands out for all-grades ELA and science: 62% in ELA, 13 percentage points above the state, and 53% in science, 17 points above. Its 12th-grade science result was 67%, compared with 33% statewide. Pescadero Elementary and Middle had the higher all-grades math score, but the difference was narrow: 31% versus 29%, about 2 points. SchoolDigger ranks High at the 73rd statewide percentile and Elementary and Middle at the 16th. These all-grades comparisons cover different grade spans, so they are not like-grade comparisons.
Results have shifted notably: the equal-school science average rose 23 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the ELA average fell 17 points and math fell 1 point. High’s ELA score dropped 24 points but remained above the state; its science result rose 34 points. High also reported 100% graduation, compared with 88% statewide, alongside 35% chronic absenteeism, versus 18% statewide. As context, in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 42% at Elementary and Middle and 35% at High; student-teacher ratios were 13 and 12.7, respectively. Enrollment is small, so results may be sensitive to the outcomes of relatively few students.
