This school is a solid fit for students in the Lubbock area who are serious about a cosmetology career and want to keep debt manageable — the median debt at graduation of just $9,833 is genuinely low for a vocational program, which matters a lot when you're entering an industry where early wages can be modest. The small enrollment of 96 students suggests a more personal, hands-on learning environment, which many students in trade programs find valuable. That said, the graduation rate of 60% is worth a real conversation — four in ten students don't finish, and you should ask the school directly what drives that number before committing. The annual net price of $27,288 is also something to scrutinize carefully, because while the debt load looks reasonable, you'll want to confirm how much of that cost is being covered by grants versus loans for your specific situation. My honest advice: visit in person, talk to current students, and ask the admissions office for outcome data on job placement rates — if they can't give you clear answers, that tells you something too.
