There was more access to illicit substances at Faith Baptist than my public high school. Critical thinking was not encouraged and certainly not taught. Focus on religion often detracted from learning. Writing was not a focus. Teachers were poorly qualified.

To respond to the other review, I can only say that this former student obviously is bitter about any type of authority figure and structure in her life and dealing with a bit of a rebellious attitude and has an obvious lack of respect for anything that could give true guidance. Everything her review states I would consider completely false. I would HIGHLY recommend this school to any parent or student of any faith. My daughter is in her second year at Faith Baptist and I have many friends who have had their children in school there from K4-12th grade and do not attend the church, some of them are Catholic and some of them are Buddhists and they have had nothing but great things to say about the school, which is why we m oved our daughter there. Their curriculum and structure are unsurpassed and encourage individual growth and development and learning. I have seen an amazing change in my child since she has been attending Faith Baptist, she is much more calm and well-behaved and is always excited to learn new things and looks forward to school. As a parent, it is such a comfort to send your child to a school where the teachers want the best for your child and provide them with the encouragement, warmth and love that children of all ages need, this has helped my daughter develop a strong sense of self and worth while and the confidence that I would’ve only dreamed of seeing from her before. They do include wonderful Christian, Bible-based values and morals that you don’t find anywhere else, but they don’t shove it down your throat or damn you to hell. They always make you feel included. Again, I would HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone and I would suggest checking out the school for yourself and you will see what I mean…just an amazing environment.

As an 8yr former student of this school, I urge anyone that cares about their child's emotional, spiritual, and intellectual development to not attend Faith Baptist... or their church services. Although they try to make sure children have a good "base" education in English and math, excelling in academics will come easily to anyone who can memorize. The majority of lessons involve memorizing facts with little to no real explanations. Many times children were discouraged and/or scolded for asking critical-thinking questions. This school teaches little to no critical thinking skills and even fewer truly creative projects. The science that I learned there was ludicrous. On top of that, the "spiritual" messages that were sent to us were all based on fear, damnation, and shame. Many of my former classmates left that school with utterly low self-esteem and a distorted value of self-worth.
