Outcomes Overview
Athena Career Academy graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $14,120, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 26% against their $54,155 five-year median salary. Monthly loan payments of $150 represent about 3.6% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The school's 96.1% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare fields like medical assisting and dental hygiene, where Toledo's hospital systems actively recruit. However, only 20.52% of borrowers are successfully reducing their loan principal, suggesting many struggle with repayment despite finding work. The relatively low debt burden and solid employment outcomes make this an average return on investment for career-focused training.
