Colleges are indeed looking for the rigor of your school when they look at a school profile. The College Board describes recommended elements of a high school profile on a webpage.

[Elements of a High School Profile](http://www.collegeboard.com/about/association/regional/west/hsprofile.html)

Some colleges also write about what they like to see in a high school profile, e.g.,

[Helpful Hints on a High School Profile, Counselors, Advisers, Teachers, Office of Undergraduate Admission - Northwestern University](http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/counselors/hsprofile/)

[University of Michigan - Office of Undergraduate Admissions](http://www.admissions.umich.edu/counselors/profile.html)

I have some links to examples of high school profiles, just to show you what a few of them look like.

[Edina High School Profile 2006-2007](http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/edinahigh/ourschool/profile.htm)

(I know the Edina Public Schools well.)

[Lexington High School Profile](Lexington High School – Lexington, MA)

[Villa Park High School Profile](http://www.orangeusd.k12.ca.us/schools/high/villapark/profile.asp)

[Quest High School Profile includes email contacts, demographics, and more](http://www.humble.k12.tx.us/QHS_profile.htm)

Some of these webpages may or may not be in the form that a counselor would attach to a college application.
