The Ferguson-Florissant School District (FFSD) is a public school district located in Greater St. Louis and in Missouri. Its headquarters are in Hazelwood. [3] The district covers all or part of 11 municipalities, serving more than 11,000 students from preschool through 12th grade.
FFSD operates 17 elementary schools, four middle schools (one a STEAM and Gifted Academy), three A+ and NCA-CASI-accredited high schools and an alternative school. It also offers a comprehensive early education program, the Challenger Learning Center space education facility and the Little Creek Nature Area, a 97-acre nature preserve used for experiential learning on subjects such as biology, ecology and related areas of science.
On June 7, 1975, a U.S. district court ordered FFSD to annex the Berkeley School District and the Kinloch School District; therefore, the Ferguson-Florissant district began to serve Berkeley and Kinloch. [4]
In 2004, Berkeley High School closed, replaced by McCluer South-Berkeley High School. [4]
On December 8, 2010, the Board of Education named Dr. Art J. McCoy, II as Superintendent. He was the first African-American superintendent for the school district and at age 33 was one of the youngest in the state of Missouri and nation. [5]
On Jan. 30, 2015, the Board of Education unanimously approved Dr. Joseph Davis as superintendent of schools, effective July 1.[ citation needed]
In 2018 the district formally closed its previous administration building, which it already moved out from. On a 4–2 vote, in which board members of different ethnic backgrounds voted different ways, the district closed or moved a different program into Airport Elementary, Mark Twain Alternative, and Vogt Elementary schools and converted McCluer South into a selective STEAM school. [6]
Previously the district headquarters were in Florissant. [7]
Students who are differently abled are referred to the Special School District of St. Louis County (SSD) facilities. Ferguson-Florrisant residents are zoned to Ackerman School (ages 5–13) and Northview High School (ages 14–21) in Florissant. The SSD district also maintains North Technical High School in Florissant.
