Jones Technical Institute
Private Community College in Jacksonville, FL. Six-year graduation rate 71%. Median 10-year earnings $24,576.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $24,576, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate of 71% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Borrowing stays contained, with median debt at graduation of $10,294.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Six-year completion runs to 71% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. First-year retention is 62% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a private nonprofit two-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 522 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 522 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $25,570 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $23,967 at $0–30k, $29,734 at $110k+. 71% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,981 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 71% take federal loans.
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 | $23,967 |
| $30–48k | $24,448 |
| $48–75k | $29,021 |
| $75–110k | $30,295 |
| $110k+ | $29,734 |
