COLLEGE-READY GRADUATION RATES
ICEF not only prepares our scholars to graduate from high school but also positions them to be accepted to the top colleges in the nations. All high school scholars are enrolled in a complete sequence of college preparatory A-G sequence and must complete these courses with a passing grade of “C” or better to meet the minimum University of California (UC)/California State University (CSU) and high school graduation requirements. Like our graduation rates, our college-ready graduation rates well exceed the neighboring school and the state.
