About This School
Apex Technical School is a private for-profit institution located in Long Island City, New York with approximately 1,300 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,076 per year. Typical graduates earn $38,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $38,500 ten years out, which is a modest return for a trade school, though the relatively low median debt of $9,500 at graduation softens that concern considerably. Worth considering if you're looking for hands-on vocational training in New York City and want to avoid the debt burden that larger programs often carry — but push the admissions office hard on job placement rates in your specific trade before committing.
