[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS parents should be pushing hard to get access to their school's "School Profile" to see what is being sent to colleges. And get it back to school-specific School Profiles. This is what college admissions officers look at to compare kids within a school.

At our school, the "School Profile" that is sent is no longer school specific. It shows all of FCPS data (GPA/SAT averages)-- and that's it. This is different from pre-COVID.

If it were school specific, it would show average GPA across the school. So if your child had a lower GPA that year but was still top 10%, the colleges would see it.

Frankly, we should stop hiding rankings too. But even a school specific GPA range would help kids in the Herndon/Madison/SPG grade situation.

Does anyone know if this is happening at Madison and Herndon? Posters have dismissed concerns that SBG leads to worse college outcomes because they say colleges will evaluate students according to their school profile, not that of FCPS.  I wonder now if this is just flat out false. [/quote]
