“Lake-Sumter State College is known for providing quality learning experiences at affordable rates,” said Dr. Stanley Sidor, president of LSSC. “This ranking validates the dedication to our students that our faculty and staff exhibit on a daily basis.”
Schools.com notes that the Florida College System has garnered national attention for its efforts to develop a well-trained and educated workforce in Florida. Each college in the Florida College System was evaluated based on publicly available data including affordability, graduation rates, transfer rates, and student-faculty ratio.
In their introduction to the rankings, Schools.com writes, “The fruits of Florida’s labors are nothing short of remarkable. According to College Measures, 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.”
