In their introduction to the rankings, Schools.com writes, “The fruits of Florida’s labors are nothing short of remarkable. According to CollegeMeasures, Florida community colleges report one of the highest combined graduation and transfer rates in the United States, and their first-year retention rate is not far behind.”
