My child attended 1st grade here and it was a long year. The teacher was very impatient and sent notes home constantly about issues that seemed insignificant. The work load was insane for 1st grade and I felt like kids could not be kids. We had several conversations with the teacher and principal and unfortunately nothing changed. Our child did very well with grades but there has to be some time for the kids to be able to act like kids, not robots.

I only went to First Baptist for a year but in that year I made awesome friends and the teachers were really nice. I was very welcomed and felt as if I belonged.

My friend was horribly bullied here. Save your kids and send them somewhere else.

well, I think is really good school better of public schools; they don't have a lot students so teachers can interact more with each student

Since this is a private school, we are basically paying a premium (over public school) for a premium service. If this were any other service, I would not continue to give them my business, nor will I with FBCS. I do not recommend this school to anyone.

Very pleased with the academics and spiritual aspect of the school. My daughters teachers were compassionate about the students learning and spirituality. Truly a great atmosphere
