Sessions Elementary School is a public elementary school at 2150 Beryl St in northern Pacific Beach, 92109, serving roughly 433 students in grades K–5 through the San Diego Unified School District. The campus carries the name of Katherine Olivia Sessions (1857–1940), the pioneering botanist and "Mother of Balboa Park" who operated her final nursery on the Mount Soledad foothills just uphill from this site. The nearby Kate Sessions Memorial Park on Soledad Road offers a living tribute to the school's namesake with sweeping views of Mission Bay. Under Principal Elizabeth Ward, Sessions holds authorization as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, delivering an inquiry-based curriculum that sharpens critical thinking and moral reasoning across every grade level. The campus also hosts a GATE Gifted and Talented Education track, Special Education services, an English Language Learner program, and the SAY's Extended Day after-school option. State test data places 72 percent of students at or above proficiency in reading and 62 percent in math, landing the school in the top 15 percent of California elementary schools. Families exploring PB's educational pipeline can follow the K–12 path from Sessions into Pacific Beach Middle School on Felspar Street. The campus maintains wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, and the school opened in 1980.
