FBS is a great school. My sister attended this school since ninth grade, until 12th grade. She said that the school was hard from the beginning, but easy at the end. Now that she is in college, she tells my family that FBS was probably hard on them to prepare them for what was to come on college. On my personal experience, the school is great also. The teachers are good and funny. The school is small enough to walk around without taking a sweat. There is nothing dangerous that could happen in FBS, teachers are always paying attention, and students enjoy the school a lot. 100% recommend coming

I was a student of First Baptist school in Brownsville Texas for around 4 years, the things that I liked about this school were how the teachers cared and involved with the students and how the sports were managed by the head coach, I will like to see a change in the administration and the management also in the food that the school serves. This is an excellent school , every parent that lives near the zone should send their children to study in this magnificent school.

The school has a really bad dust problem in the computer lab. As an allergy sufferer, especially to dust and dust mites, I can honestly say a day doesn't pass by where I have to get up during class to get a tissue. In fact, one can see a thin film of dust sitting atop each computer.

Dejan demasiada tarea , todos los profesores al mismo tiempo , incluso con exámenes, hasta altas horas de la noche.No las distribuyen. Eso hace que las tareas dejen de ser eficientes. Cantidad no es sinónimo de calidad.Los jóvenes deben tener responsabilidades pero también tiempo de esparcimiento.

I attended First Baptist School for 8 years. During those 8 years, I completed elementary, middle school, and high school, so I have personal experience in all three areas. First Baptist was the best education I have ever received. From the classroom to the athletic program, integrity, respect, hard...

If you are considering enrolling your child in this school, might want to check their curriculum and poor academics. They have very few resources to help students succeed and don't challenge them enough..... they leave it to the parents. The classrooms needs lot of improvement, restrooms and not to...
