Reports to Colleges
With the request for release of academic transcripts and any available letters of recommendation by students or legal guardians, Newton South High School sends the following information, either electronically or by mail, to colleges:
- Courses taken at NSHS
- Final grades
- Course credits
- GPA
- The school profile
- Teacher recommendations
- The counselor’s statement (an expansion and interpretation of the transcript in terms of personal dimensions)
All of the information supplied to colleges except for the counselor’s statement and teacher recommendations is available to students for their review. In response to the general college requirement for a report of mid-year status, copies of the second term report card and updated GPA are forwarded automatically to those colleges to which application for admission has been made.
