[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Naviance only use sample sizes from the school to whom it is licensed?

Finding out that 4 students from last year's graduating class got into XYZ State University might be interesting, but how much can you really learn from such a small sample size?

You can get freshman profile data directly from the schools themselves.

I do appreciate that people using Naviance are at least savvy-enough not to just go by the "acceptance rate," which paints an incomplete picture.[/quote]

In FCPS, you can only see data for the past five years for students at your school.  However, for schools that have too little data to show (and they won't as it will indicate scores of the one who got in), the counselors and college advisor can look at the scattergrams for the whole county so you can see them if you go in an have a chat.

We found it most helpful for our DC to see what he needed to get into his target schools.  One thing to remember is that it shows the GPA for the student for all fours years of HS and because GPAs tend to get better as they go along (mainly due to AP classes).  For example, at the end of junior year, DC has a GPA of 3.78, he graduated with a 3.95.   So it will record the 3.95.   So, you can move the average admittance for most school (not the ones well above 4.0) up a few notches. [/quote]
