How the money fits
Wedgwood Academy wasn't in the state's TEFA finder when we checked on October 12, 2026. Until it joins, a TEFA award can't pay its tuition. To take part, a school must be accredited by TEA or a TEPSAC-recognized body, have operated for at least two years and give a nationally norm-referenced test every year to participating students in grades 3-12. Families can ask whether the school has applied, use the school's own aid in the meantime, or compare participating schools nearby.
This school reports special-education services or a learning-differences program, but the IEP add-on is paid only at TEFA participating schools. Ask whether it intends to apply.
An independent school decides its own need-based aid. It may factor in a family's TEFA award, but it may not charge that family a higher tuition than anyone else.

The school's most recent federal Private School Survey response (2023-24) listed 89 K-12 students, 12 full-time-equivalent teachers, a 7.4:1 student-teacher ratio and a 180-day school year.
Ask the school
- Do you expect to be a TEFA participating school for 2027-28, and when do you confirm that?
- Which fees besides tuition can be billed to the account?
- How does your own tuition aid change once TEFA is counted?
- Do you hold a seat while a family waits for an award, and what deposit is due?
- Which IEP settings and needs do you have room for, and do you bill on-campus therapy as a school fee?
- Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
