As a private, Christian school with high standards for student conduct and behavior, students who are engaged in severe or repeated discipline issues are unable to graduate from SFCS. If a student has graduated from SFCS, his or her behavior is considered to be in good standing and without deficiency; any discipline related issues were resolved through corrective actions. Serious, severe, or repeated discipline issues result in dismissal from, or exclusion from reenrolling at SFCS. It is therefore the practice of SFCS that discipline records are not to be reported to colleges and universities. *Sources: ACT & SAT Class of 2019 Naviance Test Ranges Report; 2019 National Merit Administration reserves the right to allow reporting to colleges and Scholarship Program; 2019 Advanced Placement Program, The College Board. universities for specific circumstances or when necessary.
