recent school-level data published by the U.S. Department of Education (College Scorecard and IPEDS).

U.S. Department of Education. Each eligible school is then scored on five measures, percentile-ranked
against schools at the same credential level:
BOCSCORE

- Average net price (lower is better) 20%
- Retention rate 15%
