Foster, West Virginia
Thinking about Boone Career and Technical Center, a college in West Virginia where more students graduate in Transportation than anything else? The four things worth knowing are what it actually costs after aid, whether you would get in, whether students finish, and what they earn after they do.
Boone Career and Technical Center is a public institution offering certificate degrees based in Foster, West Virginia. It enrolls 59 students (a very small, intimate student body), according to IPEDS 2023-24 data. Every figure on this page is reported by the federal government, not supplied by the college, so it can be compared like for like against anywhere else you are looking.

These four scores answer one question: compared with similar colleges, is this one worth the money? Each runs 0 to 100 and is judged only against its peer group (2-Year), so a community college is never marked down for not being Harvard. Everything is computed from federal data. Nobody can pay to move a score, and a pillar with missing data is left unscored rather than guessed.
As a two-year college, Boone Career and Technical Center admits essentially everyone who qualifies, so plan around cost and completion instead of your odds of getting in.
Ignore the sticker price. What matters is the net price, which is what a typical family pays here after grants and scholarships come off. Boone Career and Technical Center has not reported one, so ask the financial aid office for a written estimate before comparing it against anywhere else.
