Okay, so here's my question: what's the most expensive high school in Texas? It's my home state, and I'm just really curious about how education funding varies here.
Private high schools generally have higher costs than public schools, and Texas is no exception. One of the most expensive high schools in Texas is St. John's School located in Houston.
In terms of public schools, funding varies widely, not based on tuition (since public schools are free to attend), but rather, based on varying tax revenues and state funding, which can significantly impact the resources available to each school. For example, a public school in a wealthier district may have relatively high funding per student due to high local property taxes, which often partially fund public schools.
Remember, the cost of a high school doesn't necessarily correlate with the quality of the education– there are plenty of affordable or even free schools that offer an incredible education. Always consider multiple factors, including academic offerings, student support services, extracurricular opportunities, and community/fit when evaluating a school.
