How many private schools are there near Franklin?

We count 88 within 12 miles of downtown Franklin. Together they enrolled about 22,166 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Seton Catholic Schools with 2,624 students.

Which Franklin private schools take WI Choice?

62 of the 88 schools on this page are on the state’s official WI Choice list. They are marked with a green check and listed first. Schools marked here appear on the 2026-27 lists the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction publishes for each program. The badge names every program a school signed up for. The state titles these lists “intent to participate”, and a school must still meet every program requirement to be paid.

Will WI Choice cover the whole tuition bill?

Sometimes, but do not count on it. WI Choice pays $11,305 a year for grades K to 8 and $13,799 for grades 9 to 12 in 2026-27, 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.
