Well, it depends on what you are asking. California is so screwed up with normalizing homosexual behavior and forcing out Christianity and such crap, that I would say that it is a REALLY good state to homeschool in.

I homeschooled for 8 years in California. I found a good local private Christian school that had an "indepedent study program." By affiliating with this school, we did not have to file a homeschool affidavit, thus staying under the state radar. There are many, many such independent study programs in this state, with varying levels of oversight and control.

Our site school allowed each family to determine its own curriculum; high school families had additional recordkeeping to document state subject matter requirements. Parents had to attend 4 meetings per year, where we turned in attendance records, quarterly evaluations and/or grades if we chose to grade. The school kept the student "cum" files. The cost was around $125 per year to the school.

It was a perfect situation for us. We had complete control over our curriculum. We also had a support group, a HUGE lending library of books and teaching aids, lots of field trip options, etc. We were free to participate in any of these extra activies, or not, as we chose.
