What does graduation rate tell you?

The graduation rate measures the share of students who complete their degree within 150% of normal program time — for a 4-year degree, that's 6 years. A higher rate signals stronger academic support, financial aid, and student services. Low graduation rates may indicate higher dropout risk, often tied to cost, academic fit, or institutional support gaps. Wilkes-Barre Area Career and Technical Center Practical Nursing's 52% graduation rate places it in the Moderate tier — at a moderate completion level.
