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.

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.

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.
