Worth-It Score
Stretch
Boca Beauty Academy sits in the stretch band for a typical family. The long-run earnings picture at $36,903 helps, but median debt of $6,332 plus yearly net price of $22,128 creates a tighter path. It can work, but the financing plan has to be deliberate.

How earnings compare to a high school diploma
Graduates earn $4,897 less than the typical high school graduate ($41,800) ten years after entering this school. A federal rule finalized in July 2026 ties undergraduate student-loan eligibility to a comparison like this one, with the first calculations expected in 2027.
51% of former students here out-earned that benchmark ten years after entry, per College Scorecard.
Context, not a federal determination: the official test will use earnings measured four years after completion and thresholds the Department of Education has not yet published, which may vary by state. Our figure is College Scorecard median earnings ten years after entry. How this works
