Do you really have no idea of where in the state you may be looking? With the greatest population of any state in the nation and over 163,00 square miles, your question is far too broad. Try to narrow your scope to specific regions first. Even all of LA County, for example, is probably still too broad a question. But at least its not asking about an entire state. There is no way you will get sufficient answer to such a question, only subjective ideas based on too little information.

That being said, if you really want to scan to 'entire state' looking at school districts, which seems kind of odd, you can use this map. Zoom into to specific regions and you will see the data. The areas in blue are generally better. http://schoolperformancemaps.com/ca/

Tip: bring money to get into all of these districts. That's partially why they rank high-- kids from higher income. better educated families tend to do better on standardized testing and go to college at a higher rate than middle income and lower income families. In short, it's not necessarily what the "best" districts are doing, but what is happening at home.

Money can also pay for private schools here in California. So, perhaps also ask about "which private schools are the best in California" if you'll be basing your entire relocation on schools.

Finally, you may want to look at how California ranks overall in public education. Even our "best" public school districts may not be up to the standards of middle of the road districts in higher ranked states to someone who is shopping just for the "best schools." The "best schools" for YOUR kids may not be in California at all.
