One thing to consider more than the numbers alone for any program is to find people at the bootcamp who had a similar background/profile to yourself and see how they did. Two things to consider specifically for Codesmith's numbers: 1. They have more people with some kind of experience before joining than a lot of other programs, and those people tend to make higher salaries coming out, which brings up the median. 2. Students are encouraged to put their open source projects as work experience, so they tend to get more real engineer interview opportunities than other bootcamps. Whereas at other bootcamps people get more junior, apprenticeship opportunities, and internships. So you really want to try to see what people that look like yourself on paper have done rather than the overall stats.
