[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Publish the high school profile to parents.[b] Provide the past years' matriculation lists[/b] (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]

But frankly, this information is totally irrelevant to the majority of the high school students.  For example, so far this year XX Big3 school is sending 4 kids to Harvard.  Three of these 4 are URM, one is not but is a double legacy. 
The fact that XX school is sending any number of kids to Harvard IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO MY KID who has none of those hooks.  [/quote]

It will be helpful. It is a piece of educated information. It is better than none.  A private school charging parents $50K+ should provide this basic information that’s available to public schools and most of the private schools.[/quote]

You are telling us that one of the most expensive schools in this area does not provide or publish a school profile or share any matriculation data, and you did not know this before sending your DC there? And that you have no access to Naviance outside of the CCO office -- you cannot access it yourself from home? Wow.[/quote]

No Naviance data for parents or students.  [/quote]

No Naviance at home or for personal use.  You can meet with your CO, give them the school(s) you are interested in, and they will pull up Naviance report for you to review in their office or over zoom. Screen shots abound. [/quote]
