Worth-It Score
Stretch
Broward sits in the stretch band for a typical family. The long-run earnings picture at $41,939 helps, but median debt of $7,500 plus yearly net price of $14,506 creates a tighter path. For context, Broward's net price runs about 44% above the typical 4-year, public school. It can work, but the financing plan has to be deliberate.
