Whether it is released or not, colleges evaluate applicants relative to others in their school. It would be helpful to know if you are number 10 or 200. It could help set expectations and guide your college list.

It doesn’t. Just another way for people to compete.

That might not necessarily be hacking - I'll go look in a minute. But it is amazing what you can see when using Inspector. I'm a website developer. Could just be hidden in the code so that it only shows to people with certain access...but not hidden well enough. Either a good hacker or really crappy developer.


It's not hacking, it's terrible coding and security. The same thing happened to a Missouri state website and the governor screamed hacking https://missouriindependent.com/2022/02/23/claim-that-reporter-hacked-state-website-was-debunked-parson-still-says-hes-a-criminal/

Where on the inspector do you see the rank?

Sorry can't confirm - our school doesn't do class rank.


FCPS schools don't rank but perhaps it's simply an "ordering" of GPA's at a particular school?

Class rank is not computed or estimated in FCPS or at TJHSST

Does TJ display rank on the transcript? That's what matters.

Does Naviance have anything to do with class rank?

DS just texted me that TJ kids hacked into Naviance and now kids can see class rank. We're at a different FCPS HS. He provided me his rank.
