Questions parents ask

How many private schools are there near Wauwatosa?

We count 164 within 12 miles of downtown Wauwatosa. Together they enrolled about 38,580 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Seton Catholic Schools with 2,624 students.

Which Wauwatosa private schools take WI Choice?

127 of the 164 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.
