That's a difference of $10,631.

|---|---|
| <$30K | $2,145 |
| $30K-$48K | $1,968 |
| $48K-$75K | $7,004 |
| $75K-$110K | $8,825 |
| >$110K | $12,598 |
A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At Norco College, over the last five years 32% of students earned their associate’s degree within four years of enrolling.
Students from different demographic backgrounds often graduate at different rates, so it can be helpful to look beyond the overall graduation rate. This chart shows how students of different races and ethnicities fare earning their degrees at Norco College.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at Norco College | National average |
|---|---|---|
| American Indian/Alaska Native | 22% | 24% |

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 Norco College, about 69% 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. Norco College has 15,592 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of public, 2-year schools.
About 55% of students are female.
And about 59% of students are hispanic.
