Where? I do not see this on D26’s score report.
Our school profile doesn’t list any data that would allow colleges to compare or rank students within our high school. (No average test scores, no class rank, etc.)
If you go into the college board website under “score details”, there is a section comparing to school, district, state, US, all testers.

Hmm. If it is not on the score report, I do not know if it is released to colleges?
That’s interesting, from the perspective that (I thought) the point of the school profile was to enable colleges to evaluate your student in context. How do they do that without any comparators?
Yes it is school dependent this school’s website is not clear on the details but was very clear when meeting with the admissions counselor thus the FYI meet when you can with the admissions counselor if they come to your school.
Thanks. I see how our HS get the average SAT. Each test would be a data point.
It’s a good point. I assumed that the colleges would get those averages since I see them when looking at the scores, but I might be very, very wrong.
There is still lots of info in the school profile (it’s 2 pages!) such as information about the curriculum, AP and IB courses offered, the grading system, size of the school, demographics and socioeconomic data, athletics and clubs, etc. At the end there is a huge list of colleges where students attend. (Our HS is very diverse and this list includes every type of college you can imagine.)
What information are these? our school does not provide these.
- how many students are English language learners
- how many qualify for free or reduced lunch
- household income range in our area
- percentage students that are white / Asian / Latinx / Black / multiethnic / other

Ours has similar.
Re APs etc, ours also has average # of APs taken per student to put that in context.
I totally lied. Our school must have just uploaded a new profile sheet because the last time I looked, it did not have SAT/ACT averages. But now it does! The average is a lot lower than I thought it would be. It does not include specific colleges that graduates attend, just a percentage break down of the type. And we had 1 NMSF in 2025.

Our high school’s profile shows enrollment numbers (class, school), grad rate, % attending college, % of free & reduced lunch, GPA range, academic program features, test score averages, national merit numbers, AP courses offered, AP student scoring information, AP recognition, extracurriculars offered, and college placement information from the preceding class.
Interestingly, I was listening to the Your School Bound Kid podcast today and they discussed the school profile. One thing that struck me was that those colleges that require the SRAR/STAR would typically not get to see the school profile.

Because they aren’t waiting for the transcript and counselor report?
Ours was on the school profile which she had to request - not readily available on the website.
I’m wondering too…..
Some awesome news to report!
D26 said in her college counseling class today (and then found it on the college’s website later), 1 of the counselors said that at U of A, you’re guaranteed admission to the Franke Honors College if you have a College Board National Recognition Program award.
This is what the website says:
“First-year applicants who have been identified as National Merit Semifinalists, National Merit Finalists, or National Recognition Program students (National Rural/Small Town, First Generation, and School Recognition Award Programs) will be assured admission to the Franke Honors College. All students must still formally apply to the Franke honors College, and upload documentation of their National Merit or National Recognition Program scholar status as one of their optional supplements on the Main Campus application. If using the Common App, students should consult with their assigned Recruiter to verity that their scholar status is on file with U of A.”
HECK YEAH! D26 got a School Recognition Award through College Board. She’s really really happy. I am too! The honors village dorms are awesome. U of A here we come!

That’s fabulous!
I don’t know if C26 would get into any honors programs but they have zero interest in applying. With a notoriously intense workload and a high dropout rate for architecture, they’re not interested in having to do the extra lectures/seminars/projects/whatever that the various programs require 
…even for the better dorms etc.

Your kid could always do what I did in college…used the honors program/honors college to get priority registration for classes and then before senior year started, dropped the honors program because you don’t want to have to do a year-long senior project.

But there are still the lectures/seminars to do every year. My (possibly flawed) understanding is that priority registration isn’t such an issue for arch students as they have a largely separate curriculum. Would apply to some of the general courses though (calculus, physics, gen eds).
