Welcome 

ABOUT US

Shell Beach Elementary School is located in the beautiful coastal community of Pismo Beach, California. Though we have around 340 students, we maintain a "small school" feel. This is due in large part to our dedicated team of teachers, parents, and community volunteers. Teachers take a vested interest in our students and develop lasting relationships with students and families. Parents play a critical role in the success of our students. At Shell Beach Elementary, we are dedicated to accelerating ALL of our students' academic and social-emotional growth.
