St. Joseph

Catholic school serving grades K-8 in Avon Lake. State-chartered, so a voucher can apply. Funding fit, the state record and the questions to ask are below.

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.

Can a voucher be used at St. Joseph?

$6,166
2026-27 EdChoice maximum, grades K-8

Yes, if the school is taking scholarship students this year. Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) lists St. Joseph (IRN 057158) as a chartered nonpublic school, the kind that can enroll EdChoice, EdChoice Expansion and Cleveland Scholarship students. Most families near Avon Lake use EdChoice Expansion, which pays up to $6,166 for grades K-8 for 2026-27 and tapers above 450% of poverty; a child who lives in the Cleveland district would bring a Cleveland Scholarship instead.

As a Catholic school in the Diocese of Cleveland, families can ask here about Diocesan Tuition Assistance, the school's Angel Scholarship application and parish aid, and high school families about the diocese's named special scholarships.

What should we ask St. Joseph before we enroll?

  1. Will you file a Cleveland Scholarship or an EdChoice application for my child for 2026-27, and are seats open in that grade?
  2. Once the voucher is applied, what do we still owe, and what do registration, books, devices and uniforms add?
  3. Do you discount for siblings or members, award need-based aid, or receive money from a tax-credit SGO?
  4. Which documents do you need from us to file the application, and when?
