BREAKING: Launch School Capstone 2024 Outcomes
SEE ORIGINAL: [https://www.reddit.com/r/launchschool/comments/1q2cvsx/2024\_capstone\_salary\_data/](https://www.reddit.com/r/launchschool/comments/1q2cvsx/2024_capstone_salary_data/)
Launch School is one of the remaining top programs, that announced a small cutback from 3 to 2 cohorts in 2026. These outcomes are very strong though still.
Overall for 2024 grads they had 66% placement rate for ALL ENROLLEES in six months (74% if you exclude non-job-hunting)
Early 2025 cohorts have a lower placement rate but a little above 50% so far.
Overall this is a good sign as the only CIRR reporting school that competes directly with Launch School is Codesmith and their 2023 data had a 42% placement rate (excluding non job hunting) in 6 months, which is almost HALF that of Launch School.
This isn't magic, Launch School's program takes a long time to get into and only accepts people likely to succeed, so it's not like you can just pay to start Capstone tomorrow and get a six figure job.
But it's optimistic to see Launch School getting by!
BIAS: I'm disclosing that I'm the co-founder of an interview prep platform that is NOT a bootcamp, we don't directly compete with bootcamps, but we work a lot of bootcamp grads later on in their careers. We have a positive relationship with Launch School but no formal partnership.
