the School-Houston
For-profit College in Houston, TX. Median 10-year earnings $27,384.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $27,384, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Median debt at graduation is $11,336, a light load against those earnings.

Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. At 520 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 520 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $23,480 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,814 at $0–30k against $23,754 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 56% of students at an average of $7,458. Federal borrowing reaches 48% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $24,814 |
| $30–48k | $21,168 |
| $48–75k | $21,181 |
| $75–110k | $23,754 |
