Pacific Trails Middle School is a 7/8 grade school in the San Dieguito Union High School District of California. They opened in August 2015 with ~250 7th grade students and competed in their first Science Olympiad in the 2015-2016 year. Only participating in 18 of the 23 events and with new parent coaches, they performed well in their first year. They have qualified for state since 2017. They have consistently failed to reach nationals, and have never beat Carmel Valley Middle School at the regional competition. They have never beat CVMS's lowest score at regionals.

Students from Pacific Trails generally feed into Canyon Crest Academy or Torrey Pines High School. Torrey Pines High School is currently the default high school.
