Arcadia First Baptist Church Reviews

Strongly not recommend this place to anyone. A place filled with false advertising and all controlled by a principal/pastor which would never admit to making a mistake. A principal filled with resentment, racism and hatred to those who would question his actions. If you plan to enroll your child, or may already have a child enrolled, ask: why the children are not allowed to use the library?; or, why do you not have the programs which you say are available? or; Where do different races derive from? ('I am sure that many people of a different color than you would love to hear your answer on that one, Mr. Principal.') Just ask, "Why are we (as parents) not told about what happened with (fill in the .)" Although I do see a few good teachers there, and also a very good curriculum, there main focus is on the money. Strong-minded teachers seem to suddenly leave throughout the year without a word. The pricipal's puppet show contains more puppets than just the ones that he carries on stage with him. Also, bully students can remain in the school as long as the money is coming in. Do not allow the schools, daycares, churches, etc., to ever be the parents of your kids. Question these places, take a look around, know what your kids are doing. You may be surprised at how much you didn't notice before, and work towards making a better change for your child.

My kids have been students here for three years. After homeschooling them for the first few years of school, we prayed about sending them to a private school. Upon entering the building,we knew immediately this was the school they would be attending. God is the center of the classroom. The teachers are not only certified but continually train and look for ways to meet the students needs. Teachers are always available as a resource. The rigor and expectation at this school is extremely high, and my kids are challenged intellectually and spiritually on a daily basis. We love this place and would highly recommend it.

what Melissa Taylor has said is absolutely correct, even 6 years later

Good for average to fast learners. They do not care to assist with children that are struggling or learn at a slower speed. They are for the most part exactly like a public school. They teach to the average and either leave behind the slow or bore the heck out of the advanced. Save your money, public school is free. Teach religion at home. There is a few really good, caring teachers but without caring leaders and a few teachers that don't care it ruins it for the rest. We are trying to relocate just to get out of the bad school district we are zoned to and go back to public school although it is with heavy heart. We loved the private school from our hometown. If you are in a bad district and have an "average to fast learner" it is a pretty good option.
