Baptist Prep has a good environment because it is about 40 kids per grade. We are also a Baptist school so you have to take a Bible class every year and we have Chapel every Thursday. Something I would like to see change is the math department, it has really struggled.

I wish the school was more diverse. I also really wish that they created an environment where open dialogue was realistic. When I went there, students with different ideas or hobbies were often made fun of, alienated, or ridiculed. I personally did not encounter any racism issues (I'm biracial, black/white) but I know many of my friends of color did.

AB, or any school for that matter, is what you make it. AB has high expectations in the elementary school. If your child is not average or above or is ADHD, they will have to work harder. AB does have extra learning lab help available for those with learning disabilities (at extra cost.) In my exper...

Arkansas Baptist High School survives under the blanket of values and Christianity. The simple fact is that the staff is extremely underqualified, under supported and the hierarchy of the school system is failing. A lack of funds cause stress and strain on teachers who are already not prepared for t...
