Is it possible that an unaccredited school can provide a decent education?
In theory, yes. But not likely in a school that operates in a strip mall church in small town Mississippi.
Ive served on SACS accrediting boards before. A K-12 school receiving SACS accreditation does not mean the school is good, but if a school doesn't have it, its a good indicator that its a bad school.
There are 198 accredited private schools in Louisiana. Mostly parochial, but several Christian.
Look Up Accredited K-12 Schools
Digging into it a little more, I'm confident she doesnt have a Ph.D, and I can only find her as a student at Northshore Technical College circa 2004 via the Student Clearinghouse.

I am on the alum board for the catholic high school I attended. They went through re-accredidation last year. The team asked to meet with some of the board members, of which I was one. It was very through.

I actually did field visits to several schools in South Carolina. What they ask for is thorough, but it shouldn't be a problem for a legitimate school. We want to verify teachers' certifications and degrees, see the curriculum, look at test scores - its a lot, but again, not anything that should worry a real school.
In the case of this school in Picayune, it would cause a full blown panic to even start the process.

Funniest quote of hers is"I don't understand how this happened".
This is like the basic white bitch version of "What had happened was..."
Its funny that scum like this always seems to be involved in some church. hmmmm

I'd be curious to know if any of the students took the ACT or SAT and see what their scores were. Is it possible that an unaccredited school can provide a decent education?
I went to a school sorta like this, more of a homeschool group. Graduated 2 years ago, received a "high school" diploma. My credits are through Abeka. High school diplomas are worthless. It's all about the credits you earn. Finished high school with a 3.9 GPA and scored a 26 on my ACT. I'm doing just fine in college.

A homeschool group is different than this. You received a homeschool diploma. This place was masquerading as an accredited school.

What an absolutely batshit crazy story
It's truly amazing to me that this happened in 2017 when 20 seconds of google searching from literally anyone would have brought this whole charade down like a house of cards.

Was English a part of it? Because you failed that part.
