Why This Louisiana High School is One of the Priciest in the U.S.

Schooling of any kind is costly, and "back to school" shopping alone can be overwhelming.

According to USA Today:

Families with children in elementary through high school plan to spend an average of $874.68 on clothing, shoes, electronics, and school supplies.

Now, imagine having four kids in school—that's around $3,500 just to start the school year.

Parents of public school students in Louisiana don't have to worry about tuition, but that doesn't mean education is cheap. Many families end up paying for it through rising taxes.

Some families opt for private schools instead, but in Louisiana, the tuition at these schools can be staggering.

Whether private schools are better than public schools is up for debate and often depends on individual circumstances and priorities.

Alot.com conducted a nationwide study to find the most expensive high schools in each state, and it’s no surprise that Louisiana's priciest school ranks among the most expensive in the country.
