Better question

A better question would be where do you plan to work? If it is at a local doctor's office or hospital, you might want to check whether they will accept that school and hire you without experience and only training from that school. A friend of mine's daughter took a *very* expensive course at an online school and nobody would hire her; not for in house or with a national company.
I took a very inexpensive course some years ago from a local community college and had a somewhat difficult job finding work without 5 years' experience (but an easier time than the people that took the study at home courses). The pay is actually lower and the competition for jobs is more severe now, I believe, plus when I started out there wasn't a requirement for a minimum number of lines per hour which most companies now have.
Whichever school you decide on, good luck to you.
