The personal finance website, WalletHub, ranks Arizona 16 overall and the Cochise County College District as the fourth best in the nation.

When it comes to the highest return on educational investment Cochise County ties for the top spot largely due to education and career outcomes, which include graduation rates and starting salaries.

WalletHub looked at 821 community colleges and compared 12 metrics in three categories: cost and financing, education outcomes and career outcomes. Among other things, the metrics included tuition and fees, retention rates and student loan default rates.

Tohono O’Odham tied for the second spot when it came to lowest student-to-faculty ratio. Rio Salado College in Tempe had the lowest cost per student and one of the lowest graduation rates.
