Student success in secondary and postsecondary education is crucial to the future hopes and opportunities of California students, and to the future of the state as a whole.
This section of our website—which will continue to grow—will offer information on four segments of the secondary-to-postsecondary continuum:
- Middle grades education in California.
- Issues facing the modern high school in the state.
- The California Community Colleges.
- The University of California, the California State University, and other postsecondary options.
