To find out if Belford High School is regionally accredited, you need to:
1. Check Belford High School's website: Look for a section on accreditation or contact the school directly. They should clearly state their accrediting agency.
2. Contact the Texas Education Agency (TEA): The TEA is responsible for overseeing schools in Texas. Their website should have a database to verify school accreditation.
Once you confirm Belford High School's accreditation (e.g., it's accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) or a similar agency), then you can be confident that the vast majority of colleges will accept its diploma.
Keep in mind:
* Some very selective colleges may have additional requirements: While accreditation is usually sufficient, extremely competitive schools might have higher GPA or standardized test score requirements.
* Colleges will need official transcripts: You'll need to request official transcripts from Belford High School to be sent directly to the colleges you're applying to.
In short, the zip code is irrelevant. The accreditation of the high school is what matters. Find out Belford's accreditation status, and then you can research colleges' admissions requirements.
