ℹ️ A note about this profile
College of the Atlantic doesn't publish standardized-test bands or admit-rate data to IPEDS. That usually means the institution is open-admission (no selectivity gate), graduate-focused, or small enough that the federal survey suppresses the numbers. What we do have below: published tuition, average net price, enrollment, degrees awarded by major. If you had a different, more selective institution in mind, the search at the top of the page will find it.

The real cost
What College of the Atlantic actually costs
Which side your family lands on isn't set by any national income line — it's set by College of the Atlantic's own aid decision: the gap between its price and your family's finances.
Your odds + estimated cost across your whole college list, side by side.
Source: College Scorecard (average net price among Title IV first-time, full-time undergraduates who received aid) and each college's published cost of attendance. We don't show the federal net-price-by-income brackets: their categories were fixed in 2008 and never adjusted, and none of the averages is your family's own number — the full story. Payoff = (10-yr median earnings × 10) − (4 years of cost), in dollars — how far ahead a typical graduate runs by year ten; medians travel with the students a college admits and the majors they choose as much as with the college itself. Full price is the published cost of attendance; earnings are 10 years after enrollment, all majors combined.

Feeder high schools
Which high schools send graduates to College of the Atlantic?
Enrolled — from the schools' matriculation lists
5 high schools publish a numbered matriculation list — where their graduates actually enrolled, counted, in the school's own School Profile — and name College of the Atlantic on it. Between them they printed 6 enrolled graduates. Ranked by graduates per class year enrolling at College of the Atlantic, from each school's own published list: the number that school printed, divided by the class years its list covers. The published total and the school's own years label are shown beside every school, so a one-year list and a five-year list can sit on the same page. A list whose class years we cannot read is not divided by a guess — it is listed below with its total instead.
Admitted — from the schools' acceptance lists
2 high schools publish a numbered list of college acceptances — where their graduates were admitted, not where they enrolled — and name College of the Atlantic on it. Between them they printed 2 admissions. Ranked by admissions per class year to College of the Atlantic, from each school's own published acceptances list: the number that school printed, divided by the class years its list covers. Admits are counted at each college a student was admitted to, the same way the UC Reach Score counts a student admitted to three UC campuses three times — so this is a count of admissions, not of students. The published total and the school's own years label are shown beside every school, and a list whose class years we cannot read is listed below with its total rather than divided by a guess.
All 7 feeder schools, ranked →
Counted from each school's own published document, linked on that school's page. A high school that is not here does not publish a numbered list we could read — that is all absence means, and it says nothing about its graduates. Where a school publishes both, the two lists are shown separately: an acceptances list is not a list of enrollments, and the two are never added together.
