Poetry Community Christian Schools

Christian Day School for grades K-12 in Poetry. In the TEFA finder. Read on for the funding that applies, what state and federal records say, and the questions worth asking.

Where this comes from. Whether a school takes TEFA comes from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), which we checked on October 12, 2026. Enrollment, grades and religious affiliation come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Neither source publishes tuition, so confirm current tuition and fees with the school directly.

How the money fits

What the account adds up to over 13 years, kindergarten through grade 12, at the 2026-27 amount

Poetry Community Christian Schools was listed as a participating school in the state's TEFA finder on October 12, 2026. That means a student with an Education Freedom Account can put the 2026-27 award of $10,474 toward tuition here. The state pays the school directly through Odyssey: a quarter on July 1, another quarter on October 1, and the remaining half on February 1.

Church schools in the Dallas area commonly offer member pricing, sibling discounts and congregation-funded sponsorships, and the state's tuition guidelines keep those discounts in place for TEFA families. A school run by a local church may also qualify for the Edu Fund partner scholarship, which has no income cap.

The school's most recent federal Private School Survey response (2023-24) listed 203 K-12 students, 33 full-time-equivalent teachers, a 6.2:1 student-teacher ratio, 70% of the previous year's graduates going on to four-year colleges and a 175-day school year.

Associations (federal survey): Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI); State/regional independent school association (e.g., ISAS).

What to ask the school

  1. Will you be in TEFA for 2027-28, and how do you handle a family that's awarded after the school year starts?
  2. Which of your fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can be billed to the account?
  3. What need-based aid, sibling rate or church or parish pricing applies to the balance?
  4. Do you serve students with an IEP or a learning difference, and what support is included in tuition?
  5. Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
