Department of Early Education and Care Visits Western Mass. to Spotlight Innovative Preschool Programs

EdChoice released a report detailing the growth and funding of private school choice programs across the United States as of 2025.
The report highlights that only four states—Arizona, Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin—have funds to serve every child, while states like New York and Pennsylvania have limited programs and school closures.
Private schools serve roughly 4.4 million students nationwide, but reporting is limited since only 5% must report to the government, suggesting underreported growth in nonpublic education.
Families face average tuition costs around $13,000 annually, and financial aid programs often reach capacity, as seen with states like Oklahoma rejecting 5,600 applications due to funding caps.
EdChoice suggests expanding universal programs depends on states adopting policies and funding them adequately to increase educational options and support families nationwide.
