[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public and private school parent here (not sidwell ). Our private didn't provide access to naviance. It's a numbers thing. There aren't enough data points for many schools so it would be too easy to identify people. Our public school gives access because there are 500 kids applying each year so plenty of data points. Plus in public school we get much less guidance so naviance is critical. [/quote] It is not a numbers thing, it is a control thing. Both STA and NCS give families access to Naviance. GDS and Sidwell families pay for Naviance but are not allowed to use it.[/quote] Agree -- it's a control thing. Interestingly, at a meeting with US parents and students this year, the Sidwell counselors actually presented case studies of recent grads which, while anonymous, contained enough information -- much more than Naviance provides -- to make it uncomfortably easy to identify the profiled alumni.
