Catholic Schools in Downtown, Fountain Square & the Near Eastside
8 catholic schools in Downtown, Fountain Square & the Near Eastside; 6 are on the 2026-27 Choice list. The Mile Square and the neighborhoods hugging it, where Archdiocesan center-city schools, Cristo Rey and several virtual Choice schools list downtown addresses.
Where this comes from. School facts are from the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, or 2021-22 where a school did not respond) and, for schools missing from it, from state lists. Choice status is IDOE's 2026-27 participating list as downloaded October 28, 2026; SGO status is IDOE's partner list dated October 21, 2026; ESA status is IDOE's August 31, 2026 provider sheet. Indiana does not publish private tuition; confirm it with the school.
Funding note: Nearly every Catholic school here takes the Choice Scholarship. Because the award is capped at tuition, parishioner rates can shrink what the voucher has to cover.
