What are the graduation rates for students at Lyon College?

Lyon College's overall graduation rate stands at 56%, positioning it near the midpoint nationally. This rate reflects the portion of students who complete their program, but it places the college in the lower half compared to other institutions. When broken down by gender, female students tend to graduate at a higher rate of 68%, which is notable for ranking within the top 40% nationally. In contrast, the graduation rate for male students is considerably lower at 47%, placing this group in the bottom 40% compared to peers.

A closer look at completion within four years shows that 44% of students manage to graduate on this timeframe, a figure that sits just above the national median. Extending this to a six-year period, the rate modestly improves to 56%, again near the average and still within the lower half of national rankings. Retention rates, an important indicator of student persistence year-to-year, are lower for Lyon College, with only 68% of students returning for their second year; this rate is comparatively low and ranked in the bottom 30% across similar institutions.

These figures suggest that while Lyon College sees roughly half of its students through to graduation, challenges remain, particularly concerning male student completion and retention during the initial years. Prospective students may want to weigh these factors alongside other considerations when evaluating the college.
