What is the High School Profile?
The high school profile is a document used by high schools to promote their community and to provide colleges and universities with detailed statistics and information pertaining to their graduating class.
Who uses a high school profile?
There are two distinct groups that use the high school profile. The first are college admissions representatives who use the profile to compare academic programs. The second are real estate agents and members of the community.
How do I know this information was provided by the actual high school?
Highschoolprofile.com checks the identity of every high school and college admissions professional. Yes, we do it manually, with real people. While this slows down the initial registration process, it ensures that you are dealing with who you think you are dealing with.

I just created a profile, why can’t I view it on your site?

This takes a little time, most validations are done between 1 PM and 9 PM Pacific Standard Time.
What’s the difference between “My Favorites” and “My colleagues”?
Only high schools can be placed on your “My Favorites” list. In addition to having certain high school profiles right at your fingertips, your favorites list can be used to compare certain statistics between individual schools.
