South Bay Union School District (K-8th)
The South Bay Union School District went through a major restructuring two years ago. Pine Hill School was reconfigured to serve students in grades K-3rd and South Bay School was designated for 4th-6th grade students. In addition, in 2011 the district opened a new 7th-8th grade charter middle school at South Bay School thereby creating an opportunity for students to stay together with their school friends for up to nine years, from kindergarten through 8th grade, before graduating on to high school.
For additional information about the schools in South Bay Union School District, please visit our district website at www.southbaydistrict.org or call the district office at 476-8549 and speak with Superintendent Paul Meyers about the opportunities available to your student.
