Here’s how expensive private schools are in the Bay Area

Although San Francisco has the highest rate of private school enrollment in the Bay Area and one of the highest in the state, tuition still isn’t the highest there, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The Chronicle created a database that shows private school tuition rates in the Bay Area. Tuition rates have skyrocketed in recent years and are increasing at a higher rate than family incomes, the data shows.

Average tuition across religious and secular schools in San Francisco is on average about $23,000 for elementary school and just more than $42,000 for high school, according to the Chronicle. Marin County surpasses those costs even though they have fewer rates of students enrolled in private schools, about 21%.

The average tuition in Marin County is about $26,600 for elementary and nearly $48,000 for high school, the Chronicle reported. The most expensive school to attend in the Bay Area is also in Marin, San Domenico School, which is $78,650 for boarding school and $62,500 for regular day school in high school grades.

San Mateo County is behind Marin and San Francisco with an average cost of $22,000 for private school, according to the Chronicle’s analysis.
