I have had a great experience with First Baptist in the last 6 years of going there. They have a very supportive staff that helps you and prepares you for college. I have enjoyed playing sports and being involved in school activities. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants a small Christian environment with great academics and extracurriculars.

Middle school was quite nice here. The high school has many problems with detached teachers, poor communication from the main office and the overall environment. My 10th grader is very unhappy here as are my wife and I, we will not be returning.

My daughter has attended First Baptist School since the sixth grade. She is now graduating and has enjoyed her tenure there. I feel she is ready for college and will excel there as she did at First Baptist.
