What Arizona pays, and what that leaves you
Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account Education savings account
About $7,000 to $8,000 for most students (2025-26 figures) We could not confirm the 2026-27 amount from the state. The formula is 90% of state per-pupil funding. Students with disabilities receive far more.
Figures read from each program’s official pages, 2026-09-20. Sources and how to apply

Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Goodyear?
We count 17 within 12 miles of downtown Goodyear. Together they enrolled about 3,467 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Elementary School with 507 students.
Which Goodyear private schools take ESA?
Arizona does not register participating schools. Any qualified private school can be paid from an ESA, so ask the school whether it accepts ESA payments.
Will ESA cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. ESA pays about $7,000 to $8,000 for most students (2025-26 figures), and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
