[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they try to "hide" a bit of information so that you won't be able to figure out who specific students are, especially for schools where there were low application rates. For example, if you know that three kids from a high school applied to Clemson, you might be able to figure out who was who. [/quote]

Our FCPS does not display the data for schools that receive few applications. It's extremely useful for looking at in-state schools, popular large OOS schools, and a few private schools. My youngest child is getting ready to start their college search and I found Naviance to be quite accurate for their older siblings. It's harder when they are just on the cusp. [/quote]

Same poster. I meant to add that for our school, when I see the occasional outliers, I know they are most likely URM students or athletes, and that is not my kid.[/quote]

While the Supreme Court outlawed race-based admissions, they did not prohibit URM preferences (which usually correlate with a certain race or races).

Those are the low-end outliers you see on Naviance.[/quote]
