National Average

This chart is a visualization of the performance of programs in your state relative to the national average. In the chart, each bar represents all of the programs in your state for the specified level. The portion of each bar in blue represents the number of programs in your state that are high performing, and the portion in gray represents those that are low performing. For this chart, high performing

is defined as those programs with a pass rate at or above the national average pass rate. Low performing is defined as those programs with a pass rate below the national average. In 2016, the national average pass rate for paramedic programs was 71 percent, and the national average pass rate for EMT programs was 68 percent.
