Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there in Coatesville?
7 private schools give Coatesville as their address. Counting nearby towns, we list 53: 7 in Coatesville and 46 within 12 miles of downtown. Together they enrolled about 4,141 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest in Coatesville is Pope John Paul II Regional Catholic Elem School with 492 students. The largest within 12 miles is Bishop Shanahan High School with 876 students.
Which Coatesville private schools take EITC / OSTC?
6 of the 53 schools on this page are on the state’s official OSTC list, 0 of them in Coatesville itself. They are marked with a green check and listed first in each group. Schools marked “OSTC school” here appear on the Department of Education’s list of schools that accept Opportunity Scholarship (OSTC) students in 2026-27: 398 private schools, reported by the schools themselves (the Department does not audit it). Pennsylvania keeps no list for EITC scholarships, so a school without the mark may still take EITC students. Ask the school which scholarship organizations it works with.
Will EITC / OSTC cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. Each scholarship organization sets its award; Opportunity Scholarships go up to $8,500, or $15,000 for a student with a disability, 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.
