Data Shows Charlotte Back-to-School Costs
In a Deloitte Charlotte 2025 Back-to-School Retail Survey, local K–12 parents plan to maintain their back-to-school spending despite ongoing economic concerns. This year, Charlotte families expect to spend an average of $756 per child, nearly unchanged from the $758 they planned in 2024. According to WCCB, the steady spending suggests that while families remain cautious about the economy, they’re still prioritizing school-related expenses.
