what is the total number of students in the state of Ca. from pre
school to post grad.

Interesting question.



Head the Department of Education state statistics site at:


http://nces.ed.gov/programs/stateprofiles/
State Education Data Profiles 

 
and click on California.

This will bring up a page of statistics on both pre-college and
college level schooling in the state:

 

Elementary & Secondary Education Characteristics 

9,100 schools
6,356,348 students



Postsecondary  
433 Institutions

For student information click on:


"expand data listing"


to bring up some additional stats:


1,065,065 -- Total Fall Enrollment - Male

1,315,025 -- Total Fall Enrollment - Female



So, we have 6,356,348 students in grade school (through high school),
and another 1,065,065 men and 1.315,025 women attending college (at
any level) for a grand total of:


8,736,438 students attending schools in the state of California.

Thanks, your service saved me a great deal of time

So, it's about one-fourth of CA doing education. I remember the good
times in California, when all you had to do was go to school to get
schooling.

Well. I only bought books and did certain student folly bits, and
always paid the student health fee. Well. I basically got my Master of
Arts in Religion for free. Really, for free. And at the end, they knew
it and wanted to get rid of me inasmuch I had become expensive.
