TheFerguson-Florissant School District (FFSD) is a publicschool district located inGreater St. Louis and inMissouri. Its headquarters are inHazelwood.[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 theBerkeley School District and theKinloch School District; therefore, the Ferguson-Florissant district began to serve Berkeley and Kinloch.[4]
In 2004,Berkeley High School closed, replaced byMcCluer 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 selectiveSTEAM school.[6]
The district includes all ofCalverton Park andKinloch, the majorities ofBerkeley,Cool Valley, andFerguson, about half ofFlorissant, and parts ofDellwood,Hazelwood,Jennings, andNormandy. It also includes a section of theOld Jamestowncensus-designated place.[7]
