Catholic Schools in Downtown, OTR, Clifton, Walnut Hills & Avondale

10 catholic schools in Downtown, OTR, Clifton, Walnut Hills & Avondale, 10 of them Ohio-chartered and able to enroll EdChoice students (up to $6,166 K-8 and $8,408 9-12 in 2026-27). The urban core and the uptown hospital-and-university district, with Purcell Marian, St. Ursula Academy, Roger Bacon, DePaul Cristo Rey and a cluster of urban parish grade schools.

About these records. Each school row joins the federal Private School Survey (NCES 2023-24, or 2021-22 when a school skipped the latest round) to Ohio's OEDS directory of chartered nonpublic schools and DEW's 2026-27 non-chartered list, both pulled October 28, 2026. A "chartered" school is the kind that can enroll EdChoice students; schools opt in to scholarship students separately, so confirm with the admissions office. Neither agency collects tuition.

Funding note: Archdiocesan schools hold state charters, so EdChoice or EdChoice Expansion is usually the first payment, with Catholic Education Foundation grants and parish aid behind it.
