Connecticut High School Fees

I'm from Connecticut and was pondering over how much people are paying for high schools here. Just curious, can anyone clue me in on the most expensive high schools in our state?

Sure, I can provide some information on that. Private high schools often have higher costs compared to public high schools, and those in Connecticut are no exception.

Choate Rosemary Hall, located in Wallingford, Connecticut, is one of the most costly high schools in the state, with tuition fees close to $69,370 for boarding students and around $65,563 for day students.

The Hopkins School, situated in New Haven, Connecticut, is another private day school that is rather pricey. Tuition for the 2024-2025 academic year is north of $40,000.

Another private boarding and day school, The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, has tuition of around $50,850 for boarding students.

Last but not least, Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, a private all-girls boarding and day high school, has a tuition fee in the same ballpark as the previously mentioned schools.

Remember—these institutions often provide scholarships and financial aid packages to students who demonstrate financial need, so the sticker price isn't necessarily what every family pays.

But also keep in mind that Connecticut also has many excellent public schools that offer a high-quality education at no cost to in-district families. It's important to consider multiple factors, not just tuition when choosing a high school. Factors can include school culture, extracurricular opportunities, college placement, and the school's academic rigor, emphasis, and flexibility.
