About This School
Estelle Medical Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Skokie, Illinois with approximately 66 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,628 per year. The graduation rate is 92%, and the typical graduate earns $24,290 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to healthcare careers who want low upfront costs and a focused, vocational training path may find this small Skokie program worth a closer look — the net price of just $8,628 per year and a median debt of only $5,657 at graduation are genuinely impressive for a private institution. The 92% graduation rate also suggests that students who enroll tend to finish, which matters more than most families realize when comparing schools. That said, I'd be straightforward with you: the median earnings of $24,290 a decade after enrollment is a significant concern, and you need to go in with clear eyes about what that means for long-term financial stability, especially if a student plans to support a family or repay any loans beyond what's typical here. This school makes the most sense if the credential it offers leads directly to a specific licensed role you've already researched in your local job market — not as a general stepping stone into healthcare. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage calling local employers or staffing agencies to ask whether they recognize and hire graduates from this program specifically.
