The Ferguson-Florissant School District (FFSD) is a public school district located in Greater St. Louis and in Missouri. Its headquarters are in Hazelwood. 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.

History
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.

In 2004, Berkeley High School closed, replaced by McCluer South-Berkeley High School.

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.

On Jan. 30, 2015, the Board of Education unanimously approved Dr. Joseph Davis as superintendent of schools, effective July 1.

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.

Operations
Previously the district headquarters were in Florissant.
