The Drake School

Funding fit at The Drake School

Does The Drake School accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?

Yes. The Drake School is on the Georgia Education Savings Authority's 2026-27 participating school list, approved as of April 23, 2026, so a student who qualifies for the Promise Scholarship can direct up to $6,500 a year to it.

The state records its accreditation as GAC (in progress). A participating school may enroll Promise students only in the grades its accreditation covers, so confirm your child's grade with the admissions office.

Does The Drake School take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?

Not for 2026-27. The Drake School isn't on GaDOE's authorized participating list for the Special Needs Scholarship, so a GSNS award can't be used here this year.

There are 153 authorized schools in our directory; the special education hub lists those built around learning differences.

What does the record say about The Drake School?

The federal record describes The Drake School as a Christian (non-denominational) school serving grades K-4: 30 students in the federal survey (2023-24); 4 full-time-equivalent teachers, about 8 students per teacher; coeducational.
