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 Seattle Film Institute, 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. Seattle Film Institute has 151 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of for-profit, 4-year schools.
About 70% of students are male.
And about 58% of students are white.
