Does this kind of reporting hurt my child’s chances of getting into college?

Not at all. We’ve chosen to report out on competencies while also still giving an academic grade (number) on transcripts, so colleges will be getting all the information they’ve gotten before -- and more. There will be additional information about students’ work habits and study skills so colleges will get a much better picture of who each student is. College and university admissions offices like getting a better picture of who their applicants are, so this is an advantage for everyone.
