Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 CA 2-year peers in this comparison, Grossmont College is larger than 67% and safer-reporting than 94% - the larger, safer-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Grossmont College fell from 2 to 1 (-50%). The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (1 to 0) and Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Grossmont College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Burglary and Motor Vehicle Theft.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Fondling, Incest and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Grossmont College sits on price and outcomes
At $5,311, Grossmont College's reported average net price is cheaper than 8% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

- average net price

- California median
- 3.7×
- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $4,169, while those above $110,000 record $12,250 - roughly 2.9 times as much. A published average of $5,311 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $31,861 - about 6.0 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 34% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
