Okay, so I've been pondering this for a bit. I know there are some really ritzy private schools in the US, but which high school holds the record for being the absolute most expensive throughout the whole country?
The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, currently holds the record for being the most expensive high school in the United States. Tuition for the 2024-2025 school year for boarding students is $69,920 per year. This doesn't even take into account additional costs like books, transportation, and personal expenses, which can add several thousands more to the total cost.
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that many private schools offer financial aid packages to families who can't afford the full sticker price. So while the tuition cost may seem sky-high, some students may end up paying less depending on their family's financial situation and the school's financial aid policies. Still, Lawrenceville's tuition fee is the highest recorded as of now.
