Just for the Kids website provides data on every public school in CA

A web site set up by Just for the Kids (JFTK-CA ) provides free, easy to understand data on every public school in California. The resource is intended to help schools and communities raise student achievement.

The JFTK-CA School Improvement System does three things:
  • Provides clear and accurate data charts based on publicly available information from the California Standards Test for Language Arts and Mathematics.

  • Helps schools benchmark their performance against the top ten performing schools in the state, region and county that have comparable student populations.

  • Connects schools to higher performing schools to learn what works as well as a Best Practice Framework and self-audit tool to help set measurable, attainable goals for improvement.

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.
