About This School

Feather River Community College District is a public institution located in Quincy, California with approximately 1,828 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,800 per year. The graduation rate is 35%, and the typical graduate earns $34,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Feather River College (FRC) is a community college in Quincy, California. The school serves an annual full-time enrolled student body of approximately 1,500 students.

Tucked in the Sierra Nevada mountains in Quincy, this small community college of about 1,574 students offers a strong freshman retention rate of 86%, suggesting students who start here tend to stick around — a good sign for support and campus culture. The numbers tell a mixed story beyond that: a 47% graduation rate is worth watching, and median earnings of $34,600 a decade out are modest, though the relatively low median debt of $10,750 softens that concern. Worth considering if you want a tight-knit, rural campus experience and plan to transfer to a four-year school, but if long-term earning potential is a priority, go in with a clear plan.
