In Franklin County, approximately 14% of students are in private school, The Dispatch previously reported. Many of central Ohio's private schools have differing rates that get more expensive as the student gets older. The price tag doesn't account for factors like student aid offered by the school, state aid for special needs students or the state's expansion of its universal EdChoice voucher program.
