The 2016 Private High School Report Card
Finding the right private school for your child is no easy decision and certainly not one that should be done without some research. To help you with that task, we reached out to private schools in Orange and Seminole counties with at least 100 students at the high-school level. Herein, we present data from the schools that responded in several key areas like tuition cost, SAT scores, percentage of students attending four-year colleges, percentage of students receiving financial aid, student-to-teacher ratio, and the number of both AP and honors courses offered. We’ve also included a glimpse into some of the more unique programs you’ll find at each school.
Editor’s Note: Due to an error on our part, Trinity Preparatory School’s data did not appear in the print or digital editions of our October issue. We regret the error, and Trinity’s information is provided in this version of the article.
