8 private schools in Santa Cruz, California.

From the California Department of Education (CDE): California Private Schools 2024-25. The record lists 2,836 private schools in California.

What California’s list coversSchools that filed the affidavitWhat isn’t here

The private schools that filed California’s Private School Affidavit with the Department of Education and reported six or more students, from CDE’s map of the 2024-25 affidavits. Smaller private schools, many of them home-based, aren’t in it, and filing isn’t approval: CDE evaluates and endorses none of them. NCES’s survey counted 3,145 private schools in California in 2021-22.

Side by side

The same published facts for each, in the same order, in their sources’ words.

Every line is a fact its source published, in that source’s own words. On a line whose figures can be ordered, the one that leads is marked; that is not a rating, and no line is weighed against another. “Not published” means that state’s file has no such field, which is not the same as a zero.

The honest record on the places and things your family relies on.

Hearth Record is independent. It is not a government agency and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by CMS, SAMHSA, HRSA, CPSC, NHTSA, FDA, USDA or any state agency. Each fact links to the agency’s own record.

Every record here is read from the public record and refreshed when its source publishes.

1 of 4

Every fact names its source.

Who published it, when, and how often it changes sit beside each fact, with a link to the agency’s own file.

2 of 4

A number never stands alone.

Each figure comes with the baseline its source gives, such as the state average or the middle of its neighbours, and the date it describes.

3 of 4

What needs attention is marked.

One color marks what an agency flagged or found most serious. Nothing is colored to look safe: a public record can’t certify safety.

4 of 4

The public record comes first.

Anything a provider adds will sit below the record and say who wrote it. Paying never changes a finding, a rating or the order of results.
