The data presented in this map are drawn from several public-use and restricted-use California data sources, representing the most recent data available for analysis. Depending on the specific statistic, these sources are from 2016, 2017, or 2018. Some localities may have recently experienced changes in policies or conditions that would change the statistic reported if it were collected today. To limit geographic overlap with traditional districts, the map does not display data for most charter schools that are independent local education agencies, except in the rare case that an entire traditional district has transitioned to become an all-charter school district.
There may be discrepancies in data reported at the state and local levels, or in data collected and reported at different points in the same school year. If you are aware of a significant discrepancy, please report it by emailing [email protected].
