Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Pensacola?
We count 33 within 12 miles of downtown Pensacola. Together they enrolled about 7,288 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Hillcrest Private Academy with 1,656 students.
Which Pensacola private schools take FES / FTC?
Florida publishes a private school directory with scholarship filters and an Excel download. We have not loaded it yet, so we do not mark Florida schools. Use the state directory to confirm.
Will FES / FTC cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. FES / FTC pays about $8,000 on average, set by county and grade, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
