Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Charles A Jones Career and Education Center caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
