Can I drive a moped from school and back without a license in CA?

Question

I know alot of people ask this but I still don't think anyone has answered very well.

Once I'm in highschool my father wants me to use a moped to get to school and back home.I'll be 15 years old and will only have a permit. Can I drive a moped to my school and back home without having a license?

-What kind of license should I get if I need one?

-If I can drive one, what kind should I get? (MPH/cc)

-Any other info that could help me is appreciated.

Thank you!

Motorcycles, Mopeds, Scooters

Cycles Defined, Registration and Drivers Licensing Requirements

A "motorized bicycle" or "moped" is any two-wheeled or three-wheeled device having fully operative pedals for propulsion by human power, or having no pedals if powered solely by electrical energy). CVC Sec. 406(s) 406 (b)

A Motorized Bicycle is issued special license plates and identification cards, which require a one-time $18 fee. No renewal required. (M2) moped/scooter only license or an M1

M2 License: You may operate any motorized bicycle (moped), any bicycle with an attached motor, or a motorized scooter.

So no, you can't without at least an M2 License.
