My EFC is 857; is that good or bad?

I filled out my FAFSA (free aplication for student aid) like a week ago and got a report back today: it said my EFC (estimated family contribution) was 857. How does that 'rank' on the scale? Is it high or low?
Any information about this topic will be a big help!

Thanks!

That's not too bad. You still qualify for some Pell grant funds.

If the EFC is 000, you would be eligible for the full amount of Pell grant available.

With your EFC you won't get quite the full amount, but you'll get some.

The lower the EFC number, the more you are eligible for...
