Flags show magnet, charter, alternative and virtual schools. Some campuses — early college and specialized academies among them — also admit by application, and this page cannot yet identify all of them. Check with the district before assuming a school is open to your address.

How to read this. California suppresses results for groups with too few students tested, and reports by grade rather than by school, so many schools fall below the threshold — 1,331 of California's schools have reportable Black student results, across 24 counties. Coverage is grades 3–8; high schools are not included. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, California figures should not be compared against another state's.
