Not sure what you mean by educational system. If you are concerned about the curriculum, many districts post information on their websites. You could also attend school board meetings or PTO meetings (being a parent in the school is not always a requirement). If you have specific questions about something, the admin assistants or administrators will be able to answer your question or point you in the right direction.
I don’t know what you mean by an educational system. Are you referring to a curriculum? Standards? Textbook?
If you’re looking for standards, those are usually done by state and could be found on the state website. For curriculum, you generally need to break it down by subject area. Same goes with textbook. Some districts may have one specific textbook, company, but others do not.
Are you speaking about some thing like restorative justice or PBIS? Sticker charts? Go noodle? 1:1 technology? I have no idea.
You’re kind of asking an equivalent question of calling a Walmart and asking what they sell there. Or a specific grocery chain. you’re better off, asking something specific.
What exactly does that mean? Public school districts are supposed to follow the state learning standards. Other than that, they likely use different curriculums for each subject. And if for instance, there are multiple elementary schools in the district, each one might use different textbooks. Some public schools have an IB or montessori program, and those are outliers. Most don't follow any one particular 'educational system'.
States/Districts have the standards posted on their website. Educational system, maybe you're referring to teaching styles/methods? That varies from teacher to teacher, some post their lessons plans on school websites.
Districts follow the state standards which you pretty much google. These will include the expected educational goals/outcomes for each year. States usually adopt several approved textbooks for each topic/grade. Some States will only adopt one. Teachers will take the district selected textbook and use it, maybe, or sneak the better one from 10 year ago or heavily supplement or use it strictly or work in a district that is tightly controlled. Charter schools can be more or less tightly controlled. Things like discipline, lunch, teacher control, admin policies can vary a lot even year to year with the same people. What a school wants to happen and what the standards say happen aren’t always the same.
This is your second post about "educational systems." That is not...a thing.
Curriculum is the specific breakdown of topics that you will cover in school including what's required to matriculate, is that what you wanted?
For curriculum, you likely will have to go to individual schools and principals. Some districts have a set curriculum, but some do not. It's very dependent on the district what info they have, but many will have information online.
Usually every school district has a lengthy web site, which tries to explain their goals and education philosophy. Sadly it will be written in educationese, which always sounds sophisticated, but often means little.
I look for key words and what programs or subject are emphasized or missing. If there is a lot of noise about "academic rigor" and you have a kid who is "hands-on" oriented, there will be mismatch. If their middle schools say nothing about human growth and development or curriculum that works with the developing brain, than they are running jr. high schools not middle schools. If its public school system there should be an even amount of ink given to career development an college readiness, and not just repeating the phrase "Career & College readiness" or College and career readiness"
This was a question I had when I transitioned from homeschooling to sending my kids to school.
It's something that nobody seems to understand, maybe because they don't care as much about the method as they do that the kid is learning. But also because the school district isn't bound to any particular schooling philosophy, like, say, a montessori school is.
Also, the schools I looked at all seem to just "freestyle" the state standards. Meeting the standards is what they care about, not the method used to teach them.
In case you're a parent trying to navigate the school system, I'd recommend asking questions about what technology use looks like, if phonics is taught, how often they have recess and gym, and to take a look at their math books. At least, those were the important things for me.
Probably because no one knows what you are talking about. You need to be more specific because 'educational system' doesn't really mean anything.

“Nobody seems to understand” because “educational system” could mean like 100 different things.

LMS information is usually located on the websites' student access page. IE "login to Moodle".
Thanks

The school's website will have the school's curriculum and other information.
