[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I was just interested in finding out whether all the top independent schools around here have this hide-the-ball philosophy such that it is near impossible to find out how your kid is doing vis-a-vis classmates, which, for better of worse, is a huge part of what it comes down to in college admissions. We had Naviance accounts when our oldest child went through all this at a different school and found it invaluable. We're smart enough to understand that most of the extreme highs and lows on Naviance scattergrams may be due to URMs, legacies, athletic recruits, and have no interest in starting a brouhaha over that. Since we are new to the area and this particular independent school, it would just be very helpful to have an account so that we could get the lay of the land. There was a lot of information on Naviance last time we looked -- more than could be shared verbally by a counselor during a brief appointment. Not sure that this would really add to the stress level -- seems this kids are stressed all the time anyway. Perhaps seeing some of the info earlier on and thereby setting more reasonable expectations would actually alleviate some of the stress of junior/senior year.[/quote]
