The district is looking at raising the high school graduation
requirements for SCUSD students. Currently over 50% of high
school graduates from SCUSD schools require remediation classes
at CSUS and UC colleges. In accordance with the Strategic Plan,
Pillar 1, College and Career Ready Students, students currently
in the 5th grade may be required to meet more rigorous and
rob…ust academic requirements in order to graduate.
