What years of data are included in this report?

All metrics use IPEDS data spanning the 2020 through 2024 reporting years. Five-year percent changes compare the 2020 and 2024 endpoints; national percentiles are computed against the 2024 cross-section of all four-year public and private nonprofit institutions.

Where does the data come from?

Every figure is sourced directly from the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), the federal repository for higher-education statistics that every Title IV institution is required to file annually. No values are estimated or imputed.

How is the four-year graduation rate calculated?

The four-year graduation rate is the percentage of first-time, full-time bachelor's-seeking students who complete a degree within four years (100 percent of normal time). The figure is taken directly from IPEDS variable BAGR100 in the GR200 file with no additional adjustment.

What does the Pell graduation gap measure?

The Pell graduation gap is the difference between the six-year graduation rate of non-Pell-recipient students and Pell-recipient students at the same institution. A positive value means non-Pell students graduate at higher rates, which is the typical pattern. Years are eligible for the multi-year flag only when the Pell cohort has at least 50 students.

How is the endowment flag determined?

The endowment flag triggers on either of two conditions: the 2024 endowment is below $50 million, or the endowment grew less than 15 percent between 2020 and 2024. A smaller endowment leaves less cushion for scholarships and for years when budgets tighten, and slow growth can signal the same pressure at a larger institution, so either condition alone is enough to raise the flag.

How are inspection flags determined?

Most inspection flags use a 3-of-5 rule: the underlying condition must be true in at least three of the five years from 2020 to 2024 to trigger the flag. Endpoint flags compare the 2020 and 2024 values directly. Snapshot flags use only 2024 values compared against the national median. A flag returns null when the institution has insufficient reported data to evaluate the rule.

How is the national percentile calculated?

Percentile rank is the count of institutions with a strictly lower value, divided by the total non-null pool, expressed on a 0-to-100 scale. The pool is all four-year public and private nonprofit institutions with non-null 2024 values for the metric.

Value for Your Money

Inspection flags are nine independent checks across student outcomes, financial health, and cost-to-value that surface areas of a college's reported numbers worth a closer look. A triggered flag means the college's data met a specific threshold that students and families may want to ask about — for example, graduation rates slipping below a level, or tuition rising while outcomes decline. A clear flag means the threshold was not met. Flags are signals for further conversation, not verdicts.
