Just googling their ranking, some studies have them in the 40s like this one
https://www.kusi.com/new-study-finds-california-schools-ranking-44-in-america/#:~:text=Researchers%20for%20the%202022%20Student,and%20ranked%20California%20as%20%2344.


This ranking has them at #20 overall, but has their K-12 system ranked as #38

Their college rating was #3.

Which seems to fit well into the idea that if you're wealthy, you're probably well educated in CA, but the vast majority of people are not wealthy.

Apparently the adult literacy rate in California is worst in the country?

I tied it in to the poverty rates in California because so much of education is linked to income and the economic disparity in California is one of the worst in the country.

If it isn't as bad as it seems from my brief review of state statistics, that's great. I guess it depends on which metrics you're looking at.
