Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Buhl?
We count 3 within 12 miles of downtown Buhl. Together they enrolled about 76 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Deep Creek Mennonite School with 29 students.
Which Buhl private schools take PCTC?
Idaho does not approve schools for this credit, because the money goes to parents. Any nonpublic school’s tuition can count.
Will PCTC cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. PCTC pays up to $5,000 per student, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
