Worth-It Score
Heavy lift
Brittany Beauty Academy lands in the heavy lift band for a typical family. The combination of $23,643 in yearly net price and $6,333 in median debt asks a lot relative to median earnings of $17,992. This does not make the school wrong for every student, but it does mean the price deserves a closer test.

At Brittany Beauty Academy, a typical graduate carries about $6,333 in student debt and earns roughly $17,992 ten years after enrolling. On a standard 10-year repayment plan, that works out to about $72 per month, or 5% of pre-tax income. That sits inside a borrower comfort range for many graduates.
How earnings compare to a high school diploma
Graduates earn $23,808 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.
33% 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
