How many teams are there?
There is an average of thirty-nine counties, two districts, and more than 500 high schools (many with multiple teams) involved across the state. The county/district winners plus an additional number of at-large teams invited by CAD make up the 60 schools that will compete at the state championship in March every year. CAD continues to expand its program and welcomes interested businesses, organizations and corporations willing to partner with CAD and help make the Academic Decathlon experience available to students in every high school in California.
