About these school records and sources
These private-school records come from a federal survey and a state filing, not from state tests. SchoolScope presents them unscored and unranked, with reported grades, enrollment and affiliation to help you plan your research.
Sources: NCES Private School Universe Survey (2021–22), and the California Department of Education Private School Affidavit (2025–26) for schools the survey doesn’t list. Each group of rows names the source and year of its enrollment figures. Enrollment counts kindergarten through 12th grade, not pre-K, and describes the reported student body, not available places. Closed schools and records that offer only pre-K are left out of this list. Verify current programs and contact details with the school.
