Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Friendswood?
We count 32 within 12 miles of downtown Friendswood. Together they enrolled about 3,869 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Bay Area Christian School with 895 students.
Which Friendswood private schools take TEFA?
Texas shows approved schools only through its Vendor Finder; there is no downloadable list. Rather than guess, we do not mark Texas schools as participating. Check the official finder, then ask the school.
Will TEFA cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. TEFA pays about $10,000 per student, 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.
