Why it is good
Nothing stands out as clearly better than similar colleges.
Why it is bad
- It falls short of expectations: it graduates 16 points fewer students than is typical for a college enrolling the same share of low-income students (56% against an expected 72%; the estimate is rough, with a typical error of about 16 points).
- Many students leave early: only 69% of first-year students return for a second year.
- Earnings trail expectations by about $19,791 a year for a college with its student mix (the estimate is rough, with a typical error of about $15,000).
