Coahoma Community College
Public Community College in Clarksdale, MS. Six-year graduation rate 41%. Median 10-year earnings $24,289.
Students who entered Coahoma Community College reach a median of $24,289 a decade later, a figure that trails the typical four-year outcome. 41% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
Completion is middling: 41% finish inside six years. First-year retention is 78% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. 18% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Retention drops to 33% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,314 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $-135 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($-145 versus $6,144), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 84% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,773 — common but not automatic.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $-145 |
| $30–48k | $-1,171 |
| $48–75k | $734 |
| $75–110k | $674 |
| $110k+ | $6,144 |
