Covering Innovation & Inequality in Education
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 The Professional Cosmetology Academy, about 79% 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. The Professional Cosmetology Academy has 197 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of for-profit, 2-year schools.
About 83% of students are female.
And about 96% of students are hispanic.
