About This School
Central School of Practical Nursing is a private nonprofit institution located in Independence, Ohio with approximately 97 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $21,369 per year. The graduation rate is 30%, and the typical graduate earns $40,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
This tiny nursing program — just 56 students — offers a focused, no-frills path to becoming a licensed practical nurse, with a notably low median debt of $6,100 at graduation, which is a real advantage in a field that doesn't always reward big borrowing. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $40,000 ten years out, so the $20,675 annual net price needs to fit comfortably into your budget without piling on loans. Worth considering if you want a small, specialized program and can keep costs down — just go in with clear eyes about the earning ceiling in LPN roles.
