Yield rate
100.0%

With an acceptance rate of 100%, Americare Technical School takes nearly everyone who applies. The applicant pool is small at 2, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 100% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Student:faculty
25:1

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. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. This is a small school — 25 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 25 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. Grant aid reaches 72% of students at an average of $7,826. 72% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

Federal student loans went to 18 of these 25 students, totalling $84,618 — an average of $4,701 each.
