At Santa Cruz Valley Union High School District, we offer our students a top level academic program. SCVUHS students experience classes that are based on the Arizona Academic Standards. Detailed sets of standards cover reading, writing, mathematics, science, and others. Courses that incorporate the state standards are more rigorous and demanding of students. They are designed to prepare students for the challenges they’ll face in college and careers.

We expect a mastery of academic skills. Students must demonstrate satisfactory performance by earning a C (70%) or above in each class to receive credit.

90% or above 80% --89% 70% --79% 69% or below

Grade A Grade B Grade C No Credit (NC)
