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

Personally, I had a great experience at First Baptist. The teachers were always there to lend a hand when needed. The principle, Mrs. Nelson, was always so understanding and helpful. I always felt like I had a voice there and that my personal needs were always met.

First baptist has allowed me to carry on a personal relationship with my classmates and allowed my teachers to spend more time with each student. This school gives students opportunities that most other kids would not get. The faculty at this school genuinely care for each student personally and academically.

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
