Mt Pisgah Middle School

I am a current 8th grader at BCS, and I simply cannot agree with people who continue to degrade this wonderful school. It has its faults, like any school, but I can say with confidence that the faculty strive to make it better. Briarcrest is a fantastic multiethnic school, and in my whole time here, I have never seen any teacher or administrator ever punish someone for anything but behavior. The school's fine arts programs have grown immensely over the past few years, and offers an extensive and accepting community for musically and visually talented students. There are many opportunities for athletes as well. The school was founded on the core values of Christianity, and continues to embody those principals. At the middle school age, students learn the important truths of Christ. As for the students individual beliefs, I cannot say. That is a conversation with them and God. BCS very clearly lays out the ideals of Jesus, and it is the student's job to listen. If they choose to misbehave and mistreat other students, those are their erroneous choices, but the school does not intentionally turn a blind eye. Punishment is swift and fair, and mercy is frequently given in a Christlike manner. Some of the teachers that I have met at BCS have become some of my greatest role models. Anyone considering this school should give serious thought, as an intellectual young person needs a firm education and good biblical teaching. I can only hope that the Holy Spirit decides to work in the hearts of the students and the fruit of the school's hard labor is seen in the lives changed by Christ.

My son went to this school from the 6th grade though 12th grade. He was treated like an outcast, why, probably because I am a divorced woman and I did not make a lot of money. I believe all the staff, teachers, admin were all crooked. I believe they stole money from the tuition that was paid by working parents. They all drove fancy cars and had elegant houses. I do not believe the so-called required retreats were needed. The whole student body and faculty/staff were all a part of a social click. If you and your children did not attend their church every time the doors opened you were not part of their social click. My son was bullied the whole time he attended. When the bullies would get called on the acts they would get a tiny slap on the hand and they would return to continue their bullying and they would continue being the stars of everything. I was glad to see they changed administration. They should have because the administration were all related. The only reason the administration left was because their children/grandchildren all graduated. Don't waste your time or money. My son graduated 5 years ago and he still has social issues because of the way he was treated in school by everyone. If I had known then what I know now, I would have pulled him out of this place they call a school.

We were trying to give this public school a chance.... I'm not impressed with Macon Hall Elementary School in Cordova Tn... My grandson will be returning to private school immediately...
