Admissions
Mifflin County Academy of Science and Technology admits 41% of applicants and is genuinely selective — roughly three in five applicants are turned away. Only 37 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 100% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
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.

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 55 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 55 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $23,015 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $20,413 at the $0–30k band to $28,877 at $110k+. About 73% get grants averaging $7,146, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 75% 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 | $20,413 |
| $30–48k | $21,655 |
| $48–75k | $23,017 |
| $75–110k | $28,020 |
| $110k+ | $28,877 |
