[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t the 6 year graduation rate still low at just 62%?[/quote]

It’s not bad when you consider the underrepresented students Longwood admits. It’s actually more impressive than schools like UVA that admit the best kids then pat themselves on the back for a high grad rate. It’s not impressive to graduate smart rich kids. It IS impressive to graduate kids that otherwise might not have gone to college. [/quote][url]

THIS! Not everyone can afford to run the four years sequentially. Or finish at all. You see this also at UC Merced. It doesn’t mean the school is failing. It’s the demographic the school serves.[/quote]

+1 the ignorance on this board never ceases to amaze me. [/quote]

Oh please.  Longwood is a safety school.  Its students are less qualified.  That's why they're not graduating on time.  It's not because they're poor for pete's sake.[/quote]

Here is a cite suggesting income levels could impact graduation rate. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/retention/2025/12/04/6-year-graduation-rate-holds-steady

Oh, and being poor impacts qualifications to begin with. Guess what happens when you can’t tutor your way into UVa? You go to Longwood [/quote]

Where on earth are you getting the idea that Longwood is full of poor kids??  It isn't.[/quote]

It’s already been posted the median household income is 110,000. Not poor, but certainly not rich. [/quote]
