There is an interesting piece on the New York Times (The Upshot) about the relationship between graduation rates and low income students. The graph below is from the essay. It relates graduation rates (six year rates) with the percentage of students receiving Pell grants.
The authors of the study discussed state:
Colleges that have high graduation rates tend to be more selective and
tend to have students who are more affluent and more academically
prepared. Colleges with lower graduation rates tend to admit a higher
percentage of students with Pell grants, which usually go to
lower-income students.
