"Military Friendly" schools have abysmal graduation rates and some cannot even transfer their degrees to real schools or even get hired because the degree they have is in question. I think that there should be a listing of these predatory schools so that they can see how very unfriendly they are in the real world and they are wasting their precious education benefits for nothing in most cases.

The va provides a tool that allows you to search for these metrics such as graduation rates, average salaries, and whether a school is for
Profit or not. It is called the va comparison tool and if you just google it you will find what you are looking for.

That is good to know, my other question would be is it regularly updated or is the information out of date, which can tend to happen when being maintained by a government agency.

You can also just do some data mining and find the information as well. A lot of respected publications do this on a yearly basis - in which they compare tuition, acceptance/graduation rates, average entrance exam scores (SAT/GMAT/GRE/LSAT/MCAT/etc...), demographic information, etc...

I'm in the process of narrowing down my massive grad school list to a respectable number of 4-5 before applying.

It is updated, in addition there is a place where student can lodge complaints which you can view. It is relatively new and very informative

Sgt Robert Hassinger - As you were, You are unable to view the complaints but the system allows the va to serve as a mediator between student and school in the event of a complaint

The more credible an institution is the more transparent they’re likely to be. It seems to me that only schools with something to hide would have a problem with this.
