| One thing you do have to be careful about when looking at "comparable" school district Naviance data is that the GPA is calculated the same way in each district. I was interested to see Naviance data from a HS in our old area, and both schools even graded on the same 5.0 scale. However, I realized that there is one major difference and that is that one district only counts the major subjects in the GPA whereas the other school district counts all the elective subjects too, yet does not weight these. So a 4.5 GPA was the best that you can do at one school whereas the other had a kid with a 5.0.
When comparing your school to another just make sure you are comparing apples to apples. |
