One example, go to this page https://fairfaxhs.fcps.edu/student-services/college-profile and click the link that says "Download the School Profile here" (https://fairfaxhs.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/inline-files/FHS%202021-2022%20School%20Profile.pdf)
The linked document provides no information on class average/mean GAP or what % of students have above an X GPA. But colleges want to know this and my understanding is that FCPS high schools DO provide this to colleges, but not in this publicly available profile.
^ This. What is publically available and what is sent to colleges for admissions purposes is different. One gives you a sense of the HS your student is enrolled in, the other gives a snapshot of their graduating class so colleges have an idea of where your student stands.
DP. Not all high schools provide a GPA distribution in the School Profile document (though most do).
This appears to be last year's profile district wide, though it's unclear whether the individual high schools submit their own profile and/or where the profile for 2023-24 can be found. https://www.fcps.edu/about-fcps/performance-and-accountability/fcps-postsecondary-profile
Families should ask counselors for the School Profile that accompanies the transcript if it is not publicly available.

Are you talking profile or secondary schools report? That is not a profile but drills deeper into class rank etc.

I asked our school counselor for this and they sent it to us.

+1. At some privates, this is behind the school’s internal student web portal requiring a login.

You would be wrong about that. Google is your friend.

Most high schools have it posted on the high school's website under the college counseling section. Google your high school's name and "School Profile."

To either student or parent who requests it?
So we know where we stand in terms of the rest of the peers.
