Premier Barber School
For-profit College in Houston, TX.
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. 82% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 84, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 84 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,917 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,704 at $0–30k against $19,636 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 57% get grants averaging $3,483, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 44% 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.
