California’s public education system is immense: more than six million students in more than 9,500 schools and programs that county offices of education (COEs) provide. These are governed by almost 1,000 elected school and county boards and regulated by a complex Education Code, with a finance system that is largely controlled by the Legislature and governor.
These Ed-Data Profiles provide a comprehensive picture of each school, district and county, with statewide totals and links to additional data or explanations. The Profiles are organized in three sections: General Information, Students, and Staffing. Click on the tabs to move between them.
This countywide profile is a summary of all schools/districts in the county, including those run by county offices. Information about programs run by county offices is included under District Profiles; county office programs are, however, not part of the Compare Districts function. Financial information for county offices is on the county tab (Financial Reports for County Office). Click here to learn how COEs provide fiscal oversight and assistance to school districts.

Because some teachers are not assigned to a classroom, the Pupil-Teacher Ratio is usually smaller than the average class size. |
