The Solana Beach School District, located in north
coastal San Diego County, serves approximately 3,000 students. Instruction
is rich, varied and innovative. Our emphasis is on the basic skills,
provided through a continuous progressive curriculum. High test
scores provide evidence that students needs are being met. District schools
consistently rank at or near the top in the county in testing.
Many of our schools have received numerous awards and have been recognized
at the state and national level for a variety of accomplishments.
Currently, the District
has six elementary schools: Solana Vista (grades K-3), Skyline
(grades 4-6 and the K-6 Global Education Program), Solana Santa
Fe (grades K-6), Solana Highlands (grades K-4), Carmel Creek (grades
K-4), and Solana Pacific (5-6). A seventh school, within the Pacific
Highlands Ranch community, is in the planning stages. The District
believes that education is a cooperative effort of family, school,
and community, and that all children deserve the opportunity for
success in school. Solana Beach School District consistently seeks
community input and support to create an open environment which
encourages excellence and achievement. Students participate in
active, hands-on learning activities and are challenged to use
higher order thinking skills. Starting in kindergarten, the development
level and learning style of each child is assessed. Teachers tailor
instructional activities to capitalize on children's strengths
and to remediate their weaknesses. Care is taken to design curriculum
that meets individual needs.
