by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. We’ve assembled this report on Johnson County Community College veteran students to support your research.

What’s Covered in Our Report on JCCC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 446 GI Bill® students at JCCC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 10,634, approximately 4.2% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veteran students account for 0.7% of all students at JCCC, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 26.0% | 28.4% |
| Transfer-out rate | 28.0% | — |
These figures come from the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
