I have been going to first Baptist for most of my life and I really love it there. The teachers and faculty are nice and friendly. The students are also really friendly and we're all good kids. The actual school buildings at the moment are old but don't look run down or anything and new school buildings are being built right now. We have a lot of fun we have lots of different events across the year and the atmosphere is nice. The only drawback I can think of is the lack of opportunities. We don't have a drama club or football team and we're kind of an unknown small school type. Other than that it's a nice school that I would recommend

FBCS was exactly what we were looking for. It is everything the public schools here are not. Faith-based with strong academics, and firm but fair discipline. The small size makes for a close-knit, family atmosphere, where faculty and staff know all the students and parents. Great school. I highly recommend it

This is a great school to enhance the Christian education and environment outside of the home. The teachers are always willing to help the students with any problems academically or within the personal lives of the student. The staff genuinely cares about each and every one of their students. Overall a great school to send your children for a great education along with a Christian learning environment.

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
