What Does Private School Actually Cost?
The cost of private education swings wildly — from about a thousand dollars a year at a small church school to more than sixty thousand at an elite prep academy. Here’s the real spread in eight states, plus what families typically pay.
Want the full breakdown?
Tuition is only the sticker price. Fees, uniforms, tech, athletics and transportation can add thousands more — and scholarships can take thousands off.
Averages: Private School Review, 2026–27 statewide figures. Low figures are the lowest posted tuition in each state (usually a small faith-based or online program). High figures are published 2026–27 tuition at a flagship independent day school. Illinois figures are statewide; the Chicago metro carries most of the high end.
