About This School

Penrose Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Scottsdale, Arizona with approximately 403 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $22,586 per year. The graduation rate is 89%, and the typical graduate earns $35,839 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers here tell a relatively encouraging story — median debt at graduation sits at just $6,333, which is notably low for a private institution and suggests students aren't taking on crushing loans. That said, at $23,650 per year in net price, you're paying a premium for a small, for-profit school of 390 students, so it's worth pressing hard on graduate employment outcomes and earnings before committing. Worth considering if the specific vocational program aligns tightly with your career goals, but do your homework on what graduates are actually earning afterward.
