Everett Community College
Public Community College in Everett, WA. Six-year graduation rate 37%. Median 10-year earnings $45,434.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $45,434 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. Only 37% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Median debt at graduation is $10,417, a light load against those earnings.

Academics
Only 37% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. 16% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate population is 6,211 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,378 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $13,630 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $8,798 at the $0–30k band to $18,514 at $110k+. 43% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 4% of students.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $8,798 |
| $30–48k | $10,992 |
| $48–75k | $12,436 |
