High School Student Vision Profile Overview
The high school cover page contains most of the student’s data such as their GPA, graduation status, current pathway plan, career cluster interest, and greatest strength. Students may also see their test scores. Note that test scores will be hidden for students who do not have test scores. It also contains an orange box with information under the topics: Start the Conversation, Get Moving, Think About it, and Access Resources.
High School Self-Discovery & Career Page
The self-discovery and career page contains the student’s assessment and career interest information including their learning style, personality type, greatest strength, career cluster interest, and career code. The career table can help the student and their parents understand the field the student is interested in pursuing better as it pulls data directly from their student data. Such information includes:
- A table showing, for levels of education ranging from a high school diploma to a graduate degree
- Average hourly wages for those jobs
- Median annual income for that career area
- Colleges that offer relevant certificates or degrees
High School Pathways & Action Steps
The pathways and action steps page for high school students contains information about post-secondary pathways available to the students. A checkmark will appear on top of either the career, college, military, or apprenticeship/trade schools row based on the pathway information in their student data unless the student has not taken the pathway assessment or has selected undecided or gap year as their post-secondary response.
High School College & GPA Page
The College and GPA page contains information about the student’s GPA and colleges. The data points in the GPA rocket graph come from their student GPA data. There will be a dot corresponding to the student’s GPA by year. For example, 12th graders will have four dots, 11th graders will have three dots, etc. Students with no GPA data will receive a sample or placeholder graph labeled as sample. Most 9th graders will not have GPA data reflected on the rocket graph due to when the data for the fall reports is submitted, though some 9th grade students may have data on the rocket GPA graph from high school courses completed in middle school.
