The high school sports program was excellent last year, winning regional and district titles. One of their former students was named a Rhodes Scholar last year. They seem to prepare their students well for college. My child's friend went to community college last year for financial reasons, even though she was accepted by numerous 4 year institutions. I think this was the case in a good amount of their students. I am continually impressed by Tampa baptist. Read less

My child has attended TBA high school for 2 years. The high school is small. The 2006 graduating class was 26. The academics seem to be weak.

The quality of the academic program for pre-school children is great. We love the fact that our child who is 4 is receiving computer, p.e., music, and library time on a weekly basis. I work in the public school system and our children do not even get these consistently. My only complaint about this

There is fantastic, real ethnic/racial/economic/international student diversity at this school - very difficult to find in schools and churches today! Don't let the outside appearance of the school fool you - this is a quality place for elementary students. On the downside, the facilities tend to be old and technology lags behind. Very low parent involvement - many parents work or just don't get involved. Some staff/faculty are very conservative Christians - not as much diversity in Christian faith traditions as I would like to see. Very good overall. Read less
