Cost context
Where Palo Verde College sits on price and outcomes
At $18,993, Palo Verde College's reported average net price is cheaper than 47% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.
- $18,993
- average net price
- $20,161
- California median
Six-year median earnings of $30,602 run about 1.6 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here. Just 24% complete within six years. A completion rate this low means the typical enrolled student leaves without the credential, and cost figures should be read in that light.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
