The Rapha School
For-profit College in Home, PA.
Admissions
The Rapha School admits 38% of applicants and is genuinely selective — roughly three in five applicants are turned away. The applicant pool is small at 52, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 100% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|

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. 95% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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 82 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 82 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $13,643 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($12,757 versus $20,373), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 35% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 33% 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 | $12,757 |
| $30–48k | $15,569 |
| $48–75k | $17,213 |
| $75–110k | $19,573 |
| $110k+ | $20,373 |
