Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This index doesn’t consider students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare schools.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Columbia Area Career Center
Overall Rating:
The classes there are quite good. :)
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Very Helpful Staff
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™My daughter had an absolute fantastic experience. Not your old school "vo tech." But adult classes are outrageously priced. Are at least a good many of them.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™This was one of my favorite things about going to high school at Rock Bridge, was having the Career Center right there! There are so many fun classes that can really get you ahead if you're pursuing a technical career. I took floristry, but they have welding, they have cooking, it's really remarkable all the options here. I think a lot of parents and students underutilize this resource. It's not the "traditional" path, but it builds real, viable skills and gives students a chance to explore things that most high-schoolers have no way of accessing! There's a digital lab here. It's just an absolutely fantastic resource, and I wish I realized then to the degree that I do now how rare and valuable it was.
