ABC Adult School
Public College in Cerritos, CA.
Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Just 17% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The part-time picture is harder: 7% return, against 17% full-time. The 5:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 226 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $12,465 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($12,760 versus $11,759), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 34% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
