<p>umm, for this year's graudating class, </p>
<p>1:43...</p>
<p>for now since people will wait until the last minute to apply for colleges and they're not utilizing their resources--1:4</p>
<p>Public high school, 2 for about 950 kids, but only one of them deals with colleges and stuff like that, so for the senior class it's one for about 225 or so... and she's normally very accessible.</p>
<p>3 for apprx. 150 (all jr and sr)</p>
<p>Public High school 6 for 1600 but counselors don't do much with underclassmen.</p>
<p>Public high school - 1:~550. The counselors spend all their time on discipline and schedule issues rather than college, and don't know much outside of the public in-state colleges anyways.</p>
<p>I only see my counselor when I make an appointment, and even then they're desperate to get rid of us as fast as possible.</p>
<p>Basically our counseling staff is completely incompetent.</p>
<p>5 or 6 counselors for a little over 1800 kids, so 1:300 public high school</p>
<p>Only 4 counselors for 1850 students. 1:462.5 ratio.</p>
<p>My school's grown by 350 students in 4 years. The counselors say they can't handle it, but there are schools with much worse counselor problems. There is only 1 counselor for the senior class. So my true ratio is 1:420. The biggest thing that helps me, though, is that 90% of the senior class goes to in-state publics, which means no recommendations! Most everyone else but 1% stays in-state (private.)</p>
<p>I guess it isn't that bad.</p>
<p>7 for ~1700 (for the whole school; there are approximately 450 seniors) </p>
<p>My counselor knows me pretty well because I've gone and bothered him alot throughout my +3 years..haha</p>
<p>7:3500 or 1:500 - Top 100 ranked public</p>
<p>1:8 But we have a system where our "advisor" teacher for the senior year acts as our college counselor. In terms of full time counselor, we have 1:60.</p>
<p>1 for about 250 students. Public High School. The guidance counselor has the same kids from 9th grade through 12th and then starts over with a new group of 9th graders after graduation. She gets to know the kids pretty well and was very helpful.</p>
<p>5 for about 375 seniors. (Total school population is around 1200). Public school. So it's not that bad actually. But the quality of the counselors is another matter all together.</p>
<p>Public School</p>
<p>6:2300</p>
<p>About 1:250. It seems a little high, I suppose, but the kids who are proactive about the process won't be neglected. The guidance office helps those who help themselves, as it were.</p>
<p>Mine is about 1:300 or 350</p>
<p>1: 180...
I actually have not talked to him yet... I don't want to. :(</p>
<p>public school 6 for 2100, 1 for 350</p>
<p>Catholic High School 6 GCs for 2000 kids = 1/333.33. Junior year they try and see each kid once in the Spring--DD's lasted about 1/2 hour. They meet with Seniors once early in the year (DD's meeting lasted about 5 minutes since she was way ahead in the college admissions game).</p>
<p>Public-3 full time and 5 part time for 1500 students</p>
<p>wow it seems that most public schools have way to many students and not enough counselors...at my school there are 5 to about 1800 students...</p>
<p>do you think that counselors will be in a higher demand for the future? i am considering this as a possible career choice. my counselor was my math teacher sophmore year and she really didnt help me a whole lot with the application process, in fact i thought i could do her job. I found out all about my apps and colleges myself or through the wonderful people on CC. </p>
<p>i want to major in psychology and go on to get my masters however i am not sure what kind of degree high school counselors hold. child development?</p>
