California schools

California schools are part of a large and diverse education system that serves millions of students from various backgrounds. The system includes public K-12 schools, charter schools, and private institutions. Public schools are funded through local, state, and federal taxes, and operate under the California Department of Education's guidelines. Curriculum standards aim to provide students with essential skills in subjects like math, science, and language arts. With a focus on inclusion, California schools strive to support all learners, including those with special needs and English language learners, while also addressing issues such as equity and access to quality education.
