An active parent community raises money for the school during the year, helping to fund the library, play equipment, computers, and other developmental resources for students. Our immediate goal is to develop a high-quality Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP) through the ongoing evaluation required by a rigorous Self Study process. In the next five years, PCS will strive to bring its students into the top ten percentile rank in reading and mathematics. If successful in continuing to raise Standardized Achievement Test scores in all grades to the top tenth percentile rank, PCS will seek nomination to the United States Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Program.

I went to Pacific Christian school from preschool to eighth grade. Caring teachers, a great spiritual emphasis, a safe place to grow, and a solid foundation academically. When I transitioned to public high school I was more than prepared.
