Gnomon

Gnomon scores 78 (Strong Value) on the CampusROI scale — a notable result for a small private for-profit school in North Hollywood, California specializing in visual effects, game design, and digital arts. The score rests on a 4.4-year payback period and a 10-year median earnings figure of $114,785. The 6-year median earnings figure is not reported by the Scorecard. The completion rate of 100% is the headline: Scorecard reports a 1.0 completion rate, which is exceptional — and at a school of 294 enrolled students, this may reflect very selective ongoing enrollment and attrition before the official counting window. The data completeness score of 0.80 reflects that two key metrics — debt-to-earnings ratio and repayment rate — are not reported, both imputed at score 50. This limits confidence in the overall ROI score. Tuition is $37,635 with a net price of $51,949 — higher than tuition, reflecting fees and living costs included in the net price calculation. Net price by income is only partially reported: $0-30,000 and $30,001-48,000 brackets are null. Median debt is $28,332. Gnomon has no program-level earnings data in the Scorecard programs array. What the data shows: graduates who persist to completion earn $114,785 at ten years, the payback is relatively short, and the school places into the entertainment industry's technical pipeline in Los Angeles. What it cannot show: the full distribution of outcomes for students who start but do not complete, and the competitive attrition of the entertainment industry itself.

Gnomon admits 41.8% of applicants — more selective than most art schools. With only 294 enrolled students, each cohort is small and highly focused. Pell rate of 10.8% is low, reflecting that most students are not from low-income backgrounds. SAT and ACT data are not reported. The school attracts students with serious intentions to enter the visual effects, game art, and animation industries based in the Los Angeles entertainment ecosystem. Students who complete — and the data suggests Gnomon has very high completion among those who remain enrolled — access an industry with significant earning potential at the senior level.
