High Schools (through Grade 12) in Downtown, Fountain Square & the Near Eastside
8 high schools (through grade 12) in Downtown, Fountain Square & the Near Eastside; 7 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: The Choice award does not change by grade. A Carmel senior and a Carmel kindergartner carry the same district amount, which matters most at higher high-school tuition.
