Minnesota's Most Expensive High Schools?

Hi folks, I'm doing some research on high schools in Minnesota for my younger brother who'll be entering high school soon. Does anyone know which high school is the most expensive in the state? Thanks in advance.

From what I gather, it seems like the most expensive high school in Minnesota is Shattuck-St. Mary's, which is a private boarding school. Shattuck-St. Mary's is recognized for its strong academic programs as well as its excellent athletic and arts facilities. The reported tuition from recent data for boarding students is around $62,000. Remember, tuition costs can vary based on financial aid and other factors, so it would be best to check directly with the school for the most up-to-date information.

In general, private school tuition can be a significant investment, but it's important to remember that many schools, even the most expensive ones, offer financial aid packages that can significantly lower the cost for families who demonstrate financial need. If this is a concern, be sure to explore what kind of financial aid is available at these schools. It's also worth noting that tuition often covers more than just classroom instruction, including things like meals, after-school activities, and other resources.

Before settling on a school solely based on price, you might also want to consider factors like student-to-teacher ratio, the school's academic reputation, extracurricular offerings, and how well it aligns with your brother's interests and learning style. Each of these can impact a student's high school experience and their preparation for college or other post-high school plans. You might want to take time to visit a few of these schools in person, if possible, or use online resources to get a better sense of what each school can offer.
