[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Publish the high school profile to parents. Provide the past years' matriculation lists (even if it's anonymous if privacy is really the concern). Make Naviance accessible to families outside the CCO. These are pieces of information that a school could provide in order to help families develop reasonable expectations. Sidwell does not do any of them.[/quote]

I agree[/quote]

Also agree with the above.

I also think that CCO needs to take a more proactive approach where they clearly state what they can do and then give each student/family real counseling (not just functional support with some counseling) that includes solid advice and meaningful feedback throughout the process, and where the counselor understands each student's needs. They currently seem like they are walking on eggshells to be positive, and lighthearted to bring the temperature down but much of the messaging is softball/flimsy and then they mostly act on a purely functional level.  And, honestly, if it turns that's all they have time for and all they will/can actually accomplish - then tell parents so we know.[/quote]
