St. Joseph Academy (Cleveland): Voucher Status & Funding

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 Academy?

$8,408

2026-27 Cleveland Scholarship or EdChoice maximum, grades 9-12

Yes, if the school is taking scholarship students this year. Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) lists St. Joseph Academy (IRN 053702) as a chartered nonpublic school. Because it sits in the city, many families here live inside the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and use the Cleveland Scholarship, which has no income test; families commuting in from the suburbs use EdChoice or EdChoice Expansion instead. Either way the 2026-27 maximum is $8,408 for grades 9-12, paid to the school toward tuition.

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.
