San Ramon Valley High

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six official academic bodies responsible for the accreditation of public and private universities, colleges, secondary and elementary schools in the United States, and foreign institutions of American origin. Schools go through the WASC accreditation process every six years. During this process, schools must conduct a self-study that examines all aspects of a school including organization, vision for learning, curriculum, assessment, instructional strategies, and school climate and culture. This self-study examines data from a variety of sources and produces a detailed report that highlights both the successes and the critical needs of students and provides an action plan for continued improvement. Students, staff, parents, and teachers all play a critical role in the self-study process. At the end of the six-year cycle, a WASC accreditation team visits the school, reviews the school's self-study report, meets the faculty, students, and parents, visits classrooms, and prepares its report and recommendations for the school.
