PCMS is the best school to every exist (EVER). I am a 6th grader attending PACIFIC CREST currently and I have got to say they keep you safe as well as make you feel safe!!! Also it is like a big happy family at this school with an A+ in diversity because this school treats everyone equally and has good benifits making you want to do your homework (because it is always some sort of AWESOME project!). And the cleaness of this school is a miracle with everything perfected with detail. The teachers are awesome, making you feel like their your own friend and everyone has a chance to start anything.Like there is sooooo many clubs and fun activities at our school due to creative minds and awesome peers. With a school dance everyone knows each other and always has a comforting friend by their side, with a lot of electives and world culture (like a lot). This place is AWESOME!!!
