Any school which has earned a SACS accreditation is also a recognized learning institution by the state board of education. Therefore, a diploma from a SACS school would surpass the minimum requirements for admission into an institution of higher learning.
College admission is not guaranteed due solely to earning a diploma from a SACS-accredited school. While college entrance requirements vary by institution, students typically must have earned a passing score on either the SAT or ACT test. College officials will also review a student's high school transcript before granting admission.
An AdvancED Accreditation demonstrates to both colleges and employers that the student completed a course of study at above-average educational and performance standards. Students earned a diploma from a SACS accredited school are able to transfer educational credits with ease and gain access to a broader range of loans and scholarships.
