The Ferguson School

Funding fit at The Ferguson School

Does The Ferguson School accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?

Yes. The Ferguson 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 (accredited). 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 Ferguson School take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?

Yes. The Ferguson School is on the Georgia Department of Education's authorized participating list for the 2026-27 Special Needs Scholarship. A student who had an IEP, or a 504 plan for a listed condition, in a Georgia public school last year can bring a GSNS award here.

Authorization lets the school accept the scholarship. It doesn't mean the school provides every service in an IEP, so ask about the specific supports your child uses.

What does the record say about The Ferguson School?

The federal record describes The Ferguson School as a Christian (non-denominational) school serving grades K-3: 12 students in the federal survey (2023-24); 1 full-time-equivalent teacher, about 12 students per teacher; coeducational.
