Take these ratings with a grain of salt--there are a lot of critiques of Forbes' methodology. But I would say if a college has below a B in this system, I would investigate further.  Above B, I think they are trying to collapse too many diverse settings into one grading system so there are going to be some quirky outcomes.  Of this list, it looks like Union, Guilford, Lewis & Clark and possibly Juniata fall in the below B category (as of 2017).[/quote]
