really, two ways to look at it.
1: schools where you drive your own car. these are called "drivers' ed," and run by bmwcca, pca, audi club, and regional clubs as well. if run by a club, they are generally non-profit, and well run. timing is often prohibited. very cost effective, usually $350-450 for a weekend (3-4 runs, 20-25 min each per day). there are for-profit companies that run these, like chin motorsports and trackdaze, and these might be a little more expensive, but might give a little more track time per day.
2: driving "experiences", where you drive their car. these can be shockingly expensive, but you don't wear/tear your car, obviously. you can do anything from street cars to race prepped cars to formula racers. professional classroom and on-track instruction.
pick your poison (and budget). when considering costs, keep in mind that driving your own car means you have to spend money on tires, gas, inspections, and brakes, and your auto insurance might not cover your track activity.
