While the website states that the school is regionally accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS), this information is incorrect. The real name of the organization is Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS), and it only provides Middle States Association (MSA) accreditation.
MSA accreditation differs from regional accreditation granted by six regional accrediting organizations widely regarded as the pillars of higher education accreditation in the US: the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Higher Learning Commission (NCA HLC), the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
Woodfield Online High School's website also mentions AdvancedED accreditation. While MSA-CESS is a member of AdvancedED, holding one does not imply the other. Furthermore, AdvancedED itself is not an accrediting agency. It functions as a non-profit organization focused on quality assurance in education, but it delegates the accreditation process to several educational accrediting agencies. It's important to identify which accrediting agency specifically granted accreditation in such cases.
In summary, while Woodfield Online High School claims regional accreditation, it is not accurate based on the information available. The school is not regionally accredited by a widely recognized regional accrediting organization. Further verification and caution are necessary when evaluating the legitimacy and credibility of the school's accreditation status.
