The California School System is one of the largest public education systems in the United States, serving millions of students from kindergarten through 12th grade. It is divided into various districts, each responsible for local schools, and is governed by the California Department of Education. The system emphasizes a diverse curriculum that includes core subjects like math, science, and language arts, as well as arts and physical education. In addition to traditional public schools, the California School System includes charter schools and alternative education options. Funding primarily comes from state and local taxes, and the system aims to provide equitable education opportunities for all students, regardless of their background or location.
