About this school

Mingo Extended Learning Center is a public trade school in Delbarton, West Virginia, located in a remote rural area. It is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education and participates in federal Title IV financial aid programs, meaning students can use FAFSA-based aid, including Pell Grants, to pay for their education. The campus focuses on a single program family, LPN / LVN programs, which accounted for 19 completions in the most recent reporting period.

In terms of outcomes, the campus reports a completion rate of 60.0%, which is below the state average of 68.5%. Median debt of graduates and median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data. The annual cost of attendance is listed at $10,685, and a notably high share of students, 92.3%, receive Pell Grants, indicating the student body is largely low-income. Undergraduate enrollment is small, at 9 students.

This campus is likely best suited to students pursuing a focused LPN/LVN credential rather than a broad associate degree pathway, and its rural, small-enrollment setting may appeal to local career changers seeking a short, direct route into nursing-adjacent work. Given the below-average completion rate, prospective students should verify current outcomes and accreditation status directly through the Council on Occupational Education and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard before enrolling. Missing figures such as graduate debt and earnings should be confirmed directly with the school rather than assumed.
