Interesting note, @bsalum, about your two kids’ different experiences. GG attends a 350-ish student all girls school and they post recent data. Interestingly, they do not rank GPA or class rank for any current student, but they do keep track, and the data from the previous year (in addition to further back) does appear on Naviance. We found it very useful.

As @ChoatieMom noted, it’s not of any use for the service academies. I will add from experience that it’s also not helpful for music schools or conservatories. It does have a lot of fine arts schools, and, for those looking at foreign schools, they’re on Naviance.

Whether your school has detailed statistics on a particular school your dc is considering will be entirely dependent on whether anyone from your dc’s school has applied in the past N years (I just logged into Naviance and double checked that)—but you can see general statistical information like number of applicants/acceptances in recent years.

As for scattergraphs, yeah. I didn’t know about them till we sat down with GG’s CC and she showed us on her Naviance screen.
