Naviance scattergrams

[Anonymous]

It would be helpful if the Naviance scattergram indicated if the SAT score was actually reported to the college/university.
For my DC’s FCPS school, each check or X shows both SAT score and weighted GPA. So, it seems that the high school automatically receives the SAT score and charts it on Naviance, but that doesn’t mean that the student reported that score during the college application process.

Does HS automatically get scores or do kids have to report it?

It is the school’s choice whether to provide that info. Our public school in NJ says whether the applicant went TO or not.

From what my kids have said, it gets automatically reported to the high school but the student has the option of reporting it to colleges.

Our school indicates whether they applied TO also. Maybe check in with your school’s college counselor and ask if they can update Naviance with that info.

There's so much that could be better about FCPS Naviance.
- ability to show applicant gender
- ability to show ED or RD
- ability to show athlete or non-athlete
- ability to show just last year instead of the last three years
- ability to show ALL of FCPS not just your school (especially important for small, highly rejective colleges)

As it is, the scattergrams are pretty useless.

But even more useless are the FCPS counselors who just shrug and say "oh well, Naviance is what it is, nothing we can do about it".

That’s frustrating. My kid’s district shows TO, ED/EA/RD, and it also shows waitlist followed by accepted/denied. Ours does not show hooked acceptances. So it’s fairly helpful.

The average SAT at my high FARMS FCPS HS is fairly low, so it seems like a lot of students must be applying TO. I wish Naviance told us.

For my kids' school (NYC public), I can see ED/EA/RD, but not recruited athlete. I really wish I could exclude those since it throws of the GPA #'s.

It would be amazing if we could also know which kids were FGLI/URM, but I realize that would be problematic not to mention illegal.

Also take some of the test scores with a grain of salt, depending on your counseling office. DD retook the ACT and moved up to a 33, but Naviance still only shows her first test score, despite multiple emails to the counseling office (She graduated in June, and I just checked Naviance because I was curious.)

They were spot on for all three of my kids though.

One question regarding GPAs in Naviance.

When it lists the GPAs of accepted students at a college, are those the GPAs that the students applied with (e.g. from the end of junior year or through first quarter senior year) or are those the GPAs that the accepted students ended up with at the end of high school?

At DCs FCPS HS, the GPA shown is as of graduation.

For my FCPS school, we can’t even see ED/EA/RD. Do any FCPS schools show this?

I asked this question, too, when we were going through the process. The answer I received was it shows the GPA from the END of high school. I can confirm this is true for at least my child because I can see their SAT score on the chart. I never checked their GPA at the end of the year (senioritis set in and I gave up) and I see their GPA actually went down from when they applied.
