Seal Beach once had its own elementary school district and sent its older children to Huntington Beach or Marina High School in the [[Huntington Beach Union High School District]]. Since the early 1980s it has been part of the Los Alamitos Unified School District.

Younger students (K-5) go to McGaugh Elementary School, Hopkinson Elementary School, Rossmoor Elementary, Lee Elementary, Los Alamitos Elementary or Weaver Elementary. Students in grades 6–8 attend either Oak Middle School or McAuliffe Middle School.  High school students go to [[Los Alamitos High School]], which is a Gold Ribbon School. Until 2000, the [[Orange County High School of the Arts]] was part of Los Alamitos High School. In 2000, the school district suffered a major blow when the community lost the Orange County High School of the Arts to Santa Ana, where it is now located.<ref>{{cite news| last =Alexander| first =Karen|author2=Meier, James  | title =Arts High School Now Considering a Santa Ana Site  | work =[[Los Angeles Times]]| date =August 25, 1999| url =https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-aug-25-me-3597-story.html | access-date =March 25, 2009 }}</ref>
