Info Available for Parents on K-12 Neighborhood Schools
UCLA faculty interested in finding out about the quality and other characteristics of neighborhood K-12 public schools may be interested in the search engine provided by the California Department of Education. Simply type in the name of the school and the search engine will generate a report. The engine is a bit clumsy. For example, when I typed Benjamin Franklin for the name of a Santa Monica school, it showed me options under that name in other areas, but not Santa Monica. When I typed in just Franklin, it found the school. So some experimenting may be needed before you get what you want.
