Aug 25, 2026 | by Ildi Carlisle-Cummins
We are happy to report that we continue to rank as the #1 school in the County and #8 in California according to the latest U.S, News and World Reports rankings.
PCS was also honored to be voted best charter school in Santa Cruz by readers of Growing Up in Santa Cruz. These rankings are a testament to the incredibly hard work and dedication of our teachers & staff and to the supportive community of PCS families and students. Together we make this a very special school!
