[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps high schools with similar types of students could band together and produce a Naviance product together, so the info wouldn't be identifiable.[/quote]

Just went through the college process. Our high school's Naviance system shows several years worth of data, so it's virtually (though not entirely) impossible to figure out who is who. I thought it was the single most important tool in weeding down our kids' college lists and honestly assessing their chances. For one, just by the volume of applications, you can identify the colleges that have close relationships with your high school. That's a pretty important variable. The charts showed us that a few schools that should have been reaches according to the Common Data Set actually weren't, and now our most recent graduate is going to one of those institutions. Like many parents on this site, we have paid an astronomical sum for high school and I think a little transparency on what you're really up against in the college application process is the least you can expect.[/quote]
