<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Value-Added Index (VAI) calculates how good a school ought to do on its graduation and retention rates based just on the AQ and selection factors for its student body. Then, we’ve taken that “ought to” score and compared it to the school’s actual graduation and retention rates.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">To use the VAI, click the Tools menu and then the VAI. The page will display a table of all the schools in the two categories, National Universities and Other 4-Year, ranked by the overall value-added calculation within its category. Columns three and four give the value-added on retention and on graduation: Positive values mean the school is beating its projection retention or graduation value and a negative score means it is under-performing against the projection. </span></p>

You can search for a school in either of the categories using the search window and if you click on the name of any school, it will take you to the National Center for Education Statistics “College Navigator” profile page for that school. </span></p>
