Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Texas City?
We count 16 within 12 miles of downtown Texas City. Together they enrolled about 937 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is St. Mary Catholic School with 217 students.
Which Texas City 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.
