Southridge is committed to preparing all students for college and career readiness. College entrance requirements vary greatly. For enrollment in a four-year college, students and parents are encouraged to work with the admissions offices of the colleges they are considering. Two of the many resources out there to help with this process are College Navigator, a federal website that allows you to search the country for schools based on your criteria, and the College Board website, which contains much college comparison information.
