While the low graduation rate is concerning, I don’t think we ought to be talking about this school like it’s barely a step up from a for-profit degree mill. The average composite ACT, according to the college search function on this site, is 25. A 25 is the 79% percentile. The top 25% of the student body are above 27 (87%ile). There are good students on this campus. Even the average student on this campus is probably a good student.

Worry about the grad rate? Absolutely. Something is going on there. But, worry about the school being populated by poor, unmotivated students? I don’t think so.

If I somehow got the wrong stats, I retract everything I just said! or if the ACT stats are somehow way different than the SAT stats, again, retraction.
