Colleges and Universities

Colleges and universities are institutions of higher learning for students after the secondary or high school years. Universities differ from colleges in that they are larger, have wider curricula, and grant graduate and professional as well as undergraduate degrees.

K-12

For Los Angeles county schools offering any of the grades from K-12. This category will include kindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.

Vocational and Technical

A vocational school, providing vocational education and also sometimes referred to as a trade school or career college, is a school operated for the express purpose of giving its students the skills needed to perform a certain job or jobs. Vocational schools do not exist to further education in the sense of liberal arts, but rather to teach primarily or only job-specific skills, and as such are better considered to be institutions devoted to training, not education.
