La Cañada High School usually receives the highest level of accreditation. However, in the most recent accreditation review, La Cañada experienced a hiccup. Well, more than a hiccup, actually.
In 2007, La Cañada High received a six-year accreditation with an intermediate three-year revisit — the best accreditation available. The purpose of the revisit was to monitor progress on the improvement plan. The 2010 revisit was not successful. That visiting team required another visit in 2011. La Cañada High successfully completed the 2011 revisit.
If the original accreditation had been for six years with two revisits, many of us would have been stunned. But in effect, that's exactly what happened. This is important for two reasons.
