Inside the Outcome Summary report
Board-ready reports organized into the sections leadership asks for most.
The Standard tier includes a single Outcome Summary report. Within that report, admissions outcomes are organized into clear sections covering trends, application plans, popular institutions, waitlists, rankings, and academic quintiles so your board can see the full story in one place.
Outcomes Summary
A three-year summary of admission and matriculation highlights including class size, applications per student, and your school's overall admission rate compared to national and global benchmarks across 790+ institutions.
Admission and Matriculation Trends
Results broken out by institution type, geographic region, and admissions selectivity, giving your board a clear picture of where students are being accepted and choosing to enroll over time.
Results by Admission Plan
A detailed breakdown of Early Decision and Early Action trends tracking applications, admittances, and enrollments by application plan type so your board understands how early admission is shaping your outcomes.
Results for Popular Institutions
Tabulated three-year results for the 30 most popular institutions by application volume at your school, including the latest available admission rates to keep trend analysis current.
Waitlist Trends
Waitlist activity tracked three ways: in aggregate, by admissions selectivity, and at an institutional level for the colleges most popular with your students.
Ratings and Rankings Summary
Your most recent graduating class segmented by Barron's and U.S. News rankings with breakdowns of applicants, admittances, and enrollments by cohort, including Ivy and Ivy+ analysis. An objective admissions selectivity measure is also included for schools that prefer a rankings-neutral assessment.
Quintile Summaries
Enrollment mix and admission rate breakdowns by academic quintile giving your board visibility into outcomes across all performance cohorts, not just the top of the class.
Additional reports available with Plus
Optional add-on reports for deeper institutional and cohort-level analysis.
Plus builds on the Outcome Summary report with three additional reports for counseling teams that need more detailed institutional, worksheet, and cohort-level analysis.
Detailed Quintile Analysis
A comprehensive breakdown of applications, admittances, and enrollments by academic cohort, including top schools by applications, admits, and matriculations for each quintile. A powerful way to demonstrate that every student, at every performance level, is being effectively supported.
Admits and Matriculations Worksheet
A flexible spreadsheet for preparing admission and matriculation summaries for your school profile, with multiple format options depending on whether you want to show institutional counts or not.
Historical Admissions Detail
A detailed admissions history for every institution with at least five admitted or enrolled students from your school, including a comparison of your historical admission rates and academic profiles against national data, breakdowns by application type, and hooked vs. unhooked applicant analysis for schools that track hooks in Naviance.
CK360 dashboard add-on
Live dashboard views when you need more than a static report.
Board Reporting Service delivers finished reports. CK360 is the separate dashboard add-on for teams that want to explore outcomes, trends, and historical class patterns throughout the year.
Use the report for formal leadership and board conversations, and use CK360 when you want an interactive view of the same broader outcomes story between reporting cycles.
Frequently asked questions
What platforms does the Board Reporting Service support?
The service works with standard CSV exports from Naviance, Maia Learning, Cialfo, and SCOIR. If you use a different system of record, contact us to discuss compatibility.
How long does it take to receive reports?
Reports are delivered within 2-3 business days of data upload.
What data do I need to provide?
A standard CSV export of admissions results for the most recent three years from your platform of record. No special formatting or preparation is required.
What is quintile reporting in college admissions board reports?
Quintile reporting segments your graduating class into five academic performance groups and analyzes admission and enrollment outcomes for each group separately. It gives boards a more nuanced view of how students across the full academic spectrum are being supported and where results are strongest or weakest.
How does the Board Reporting Service compare to building reports manually?
Manual board reporting typically requires counselors to compile data from multiple sources, cross-reference national statistics, and format everything for presentation — a process that can take days. The College Kickstart Board Reporting Service automates the data enrichment and analysis, delivering a complete, board-ready report in 2-3 business days.
Does the service include U.S. News and Barron's rankings?
Yes. Every report is enriched with the latest available Barron's and U.S. News rankings data, along with an objective admissions selectivity measure for schools that prefer a rankings-neutral alternative.
