To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their associate degree from the school. After all, your associate degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.

Major Focus - How much a school focuses on data entry students vs. other majors.

Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized data entry related body.
