Horrid! Stay away from it! I'm not just saying this because I'm a student, but because 2007-2008 was a terrible year. I only took math for half the year. I don't feel that most of the teachers are encouraging. If you want a Christian environment get evolved with a church! Some of the teachers are

My son is in his 3rd year at first baptist and until 2 weeks ago I loved it. His teacher has already decided she doesn't like him and now he's getting to the point that he hates going to school. He has absolutely loved going to school for the last 2 years. I do not recommend this school if you are looking

All around, this school rates among the lowest in the area for myself and my friends and family.

My children have been at FBCS since they were babies. The preschool is wonderful and the principle is very involved with what happens. The Elementary/ Highs is not run with the same enthusiasm, encouragement, patience or respect. The teachers are overwhelmed, over committed, and impatient. They are not

The children get away with behavior that should not be allowed in a Christian school. Their punishments, when they are punished, do not fit the 'crime' they have committed. There is no Christian backbone. There is no voice empowered by Christ speaking louder then the voices of the world that have over taken our school. It is time someone stands up for Christ in this school. With enthusiasm and joyfulness. Quality teaching has fallen to the waste side. Read less

I have gone to first baptist for 3 years I couldn't be happier with the teachers I've had. Mrs. Ziegler is such a blessing as was Mrs. Triola. The staff truly cares about each student. I would recommend this school to anyone. And I am so thankful for their love and care.
