173 Triangle private schools, each checked against the 2026-27 state list

This list joins two sources: the federal private school survey for Wake, Johnston, Durham and Orange, and NCSEAA's 2026-27 Direct Payment table. This year, 133 of these 173 schools are eligible to be paid Opportunity Scholarship and ESA+ money.

About this data. School facts come from the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, plus 2021-22 rows for schools that skipped the latest round). The Direct Payment flag comes from matching names, by county and with code, against the NCSEAA Direct Payment Schools table for 2026-27, downloaded October 30, 2026. Schools found only on the state list show a name and town and nothing else. Neither source reports tuition, so ask the school.
