Admissions
An acceptance rate of 79% puts Eastern Suffolk BOCES on the accessible end — a realistic target for a broad range of applicants. Only 152 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 94% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 78% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in five are gone before sophomore year. A 19:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 390 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 390 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $23,804 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($23,446 versus $28,917), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 58% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,376 — common but not automatic. About 41% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $23,446 |
| $30–48k | $23,629 |
| $48–75k | $25,214 |
| $75–110k | $25,490 |
| $110k+ | $28,917 |
