Independent & Secular Schools in Old Northeast, Crescent Lake & Snell Isle

3 independent & secular schools in Old Northeast, Crescent Lake & Snell Isle appear in the state file; 1 are flagged for the Private School Scholarship ($8,643 K-3 · $8,059 4-8 · $7,868 9-12 in 2026-27). Brick streets, 1920s bungalows and the bayfront isles north of downtown, where two parish schools, two Lutheran schools and one of the county's largest independent campuses sit within a few miles of each other.

From the state record. School facts here come from the Pinellas district records in the Florida DOE private school directory, pulled October 28, 2026. Program columns show whether the state listed the school for FTC/FES-EO, FES-UA and PEP on that date. Florida does not collect tuition, so confirm prices with each school.

How does the funding work here?

Religious affiliation is not a condition of the Florida scholarship. A secular school with the state flag receives exactly the same Pinellas award a church school does.
