Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at Foothill College, about 100% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. Foothill College has 23,254 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of public, 4-year schools.
About 51% of students are male.
And about 29% of students are Asian.
