6 christian schools in Lakewood, Rocky River, Westlake & the West Shore; 5 are chartered and can take EdChoice (up to $6,166 K-8 and $8,408 9-12 in 2026-27). The west-shore suburbs along Lake Erie, a dense belt of parish schools, a girls' Catholic high school in Rocky River, Lutheran West and a cluster of Montessori and early-learning programs.
About these records. Each school combines the federal Private School Survey (NCES 2023-24, or 2021-22 where a school skipped the latest round) with Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) and DEW's 2026-27 list of non-chartered schools, both pulled October 28, 2026. "Chartered" means OEDS lists the school as a chartered nonpublic school, the only kind that can take Cleveland Scholarship or EdChoice students; schools also register each year as providers, so confirm with the school. Neither agency collects tuition.
Funding note: Check the charter before you count on a voucher: the larger Christian schools here are chartered, while a handful of smaller ones chose the non-chartered route.
