Class of 2026

FCPS requests all seniors to complete the Senior Survey every year. The data collected is used to build scattergrams in Naviance Student for underclassmen student and parents so the next class can see the average GPA/Testing Scores for various colleges. The information provided helps our schools and the district create resources, opportunities, and supports for future classes.

The survey has eight questions that ask students about their postsecondary plans, college admission decisions, financial aid (if applicable), and work-based learning experiences during school. Additionally, the survey asks an optional question where students may provide a non-FCPS email address to be used for official FCPS alumni communication purposes. 

Senior Survey is open and available. Students access via Schoology --> Waffle Menu --> Naviance Student. For information on how to complete the Senior Survey, please see the directions .
