Value Score methodology

Value Score (0-100) is a simplified composite: Earnings (40%) + Graduation Rate (30%) + Net Price inverse (20%) + Debt inverse (10%). All sub-scores normalized from College Scorecard data. This is an educational indicator only - not a comprehensive ranking. Suppressed data points reduce effective weight.
