How we rank

Each school's Google rating is weighted by how many reviews it has: we add 25 imaginary reviews at the California average, so a school with five perfect reviews doesn't outrank one with two hundred excellent ones. Review volume counts a little on its own. No school pays to be listed or ranked.

Ratings are read live from Google and refreshed monthly. Schools with no reviews are placed at the state average, below schools with a strong record.
