The school at a glance
St. Ignatius Martyr offers a Catholic education in south Austin with a clearly separated standard and active-parishioner price. That distinction matters for middle-income budgeting: the lower rate requires parish verification and student baptismal documentation, rather than simply a family's preference for Catholic schooling. Its published fee list also includes technology, registration and family participation obligations. Parents should clarify whether the two listed payment-system charges overlap and whether fundraising and volunteer amounts are required cash payments or alternatives to participation. Need-based assistance is assessed through FACTS, but a completed assessment should not be treated as an award. This is a candidate for families who want the school's religious setting and can evaluate the full cost. Compare the written annual obligation with the monthly payment schedule rather than judging affordability from the monthly figure alone.
K–8 standard tuition is published; parishioner reduction and need-based application provide additional routes.
