Independent & Nonsectarian Schools in Hamilton, Middletown, Oxford & Franklin
3 independent & nonsectarian schools in Hamilton, Middletown, Oxford & Franklin, 1 of them Ohio-chartered and able to enroll EdChoice students (up to $6,166 K-8 and $8,408 9-12 in 2026-27). Butler County's river cities plus Oxford and Franklin, with Badin in Hamilton, Fenwick off Route 122, and a handful of parish and Christian 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: A chartered independent school can take EdChoice on the same terms as a parish school, and most of the large ones add need-based aid.
