About Groveport, Ohio
Groveport is a city in Franklin County, Ohio, United States. Groveport had its start as a single entity in 1846 when the neighboring rival towns of Wert's Grove and Rarey's Port merged. These towns were located along the Ohio and Erie Canal. A post office called Groveport has been in operation since 1847. Due in large part to the presence of Rickenbacker International Airport and Air National Guard Base, Groveport is home to many distribution centers and warehouses. (Wikipedia)

What you'll actually pay, by family income
Average net price (total cost minus grants and scholarships) paid by aided students in each family-income band.

Does the school pay you to attend?
Eastland-Fairfield Career and Technical Schools funds essentially no grants of its own — almost all aid here comes from federal (Pell), state, or outside sources rather than the school's own discount. Its sticker price is what it is.

Is it worth it?
A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.
- Median earnings (10 years)
- $43,780
- Typical debt at graduation
- $6,333
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 14%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- 51%
Typical debt would take roughly 1.4 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
The pay gap here
Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.
Men out-earn women by $21,804 (65%) a decade out.
Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
