The study aimed to measure the special cost effectiveness of secondary school students in private schools, and to find out if there are any differences between the levels of special cost effectiveness by study variables. Quantitative data was used in the special cost calculations and the secondary scores to calculate effectiveness. The sample consisted of 158 private schools distributed among 7 educational districts in Amman. The results showed that the special cost mean of high school students is 7170 JD per year; and the educational effectiveness mean is 711.15 degree. While the special cost effectiveness ratio is 10.2%. The results showed that there were significant differences between the special cost effectiveness rates according to the Directorate, favoring Directorate of Marka; and other differences depending on the number of high school students, favoring numbers from "30 to less 45" and "45 and above". However, the results did not show any significant differences between the specific cost effectiveness means by sex or academic branch. The study recommended to use cost-effectiveness analysis as a tool for sorting and classifying private and public schools, and to increase the awareness of students and their parents about the concepts of education economics on cost and effectiveness.
