Laurel, DE Private School Trends

At a Glance:

Laurel, DE has a very small private school presence, with one school serving 202 students. Its main strength is a relatively affordable average tuition of $5,100 and a clear Christian school option; the main area for improvement is limited choice, since only one private school is identified.

Highlights:
  • One private school is available in town.
  • Total enrollment is 202 students, suggesting a small-school setting.
  • Average tuition is $5,100, which may be manageable for some families.
  • The private school profile is clearly identified as Christian.
  • Epworth Christian School is the top-ranked school listed by size/prominence.
Key Considerations:
  • Families have very limited private school variety.
  • With only one school listed, comparing programs, teaching styles, or admissions options may be difficult.
  • Parents seeking a non-Christian private school would not find one in the reported data.
  • The small system size may mean fewer grade-level or extracurricular options than larger private school markets.
