Website provides searchable details on finances and achievement of CA schools

The California School Finance Center (schoolfinancecenter.org), is a free tool to help you understand school finance and academic achievement. It is a joint project of the Pacific Research Institute, California Business for Education Excellence, and Just for the Kids -- California.

Purpose:
  • Transparency - Provide accurate, timely and searchable information on how California's public school districts and charter schools are funded.

  • Comparisons - Compare the financial and academic performance of school districts and charter schools with look-a-likes that are getting higher academic achievement from similar resources.

  • Improvement - Identify high performing school districts and charter schools based upon their finances and student academic achievement results so that others can replicate their best practices.

THINK Together is serious about helping kids achieve!

THINK Together is making a difference in the lives of more than 100,000 California students. The non-profit organization's trained staff, dedicated volunteers and generous donors are providing extended learning time programs (after-school, summer learning, small group tutoring, early literacy, etc.) and resources to help these kids, their families and their communities achieve. Our programs, generally free for at-risk students and low-income families, are predominately available at public school sites across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and now Sacramento Counties.
