WASC
The Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six regional accrediting associations in the United States. The Accrediting Commission for Schools, WASC, extends its services to over 4,500 public, independent, church-related, and proprietary pre-K–12 and adult schools, works with 16 associations in joint accreditation processes, and collaborates with other educational organizations.
The ACS WASC accreditation process fosters excellence in elementary, secondary, and adult education by encouraging school improvement.
WASC accreditation recognizes schools that meet an acceptable level of quality, in accordance with established, research-based WASC criteria.
In 2021, Pasadena High School received a full six-year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
