    Susan, A few years ago Moosalamoo Center at Otter Valley started the process of moving towards narrative report cards. At this same time we were moving to a more heterogeneously mixed group of students...some of which were the "academic all stars" of the school. With that, there was some concern about the perception of the program by college admissions offices if we went away from traditional grades.

    To find out, I surveyed 19 Vermont colleges and received responses back from 8. Here is a copy of the responses from those Vermont colleges which responded. I've deleted my own reflections and conclusions...I don't want to present any bias.

    Hope you find this interesting. Here is a link to view it in PDF.
