Research First Baptist Academy private Schools in Dallas, Texas

“As a Lower School parent, my observations have been that overall, the lower school is well run with an excellent principal. However, there are several teachers, no names mentioned, that should have retired long ago...as they have lost control of the classroom. If your child is enrolling in Lower School at FBA, you may want to ask to speak to several of the parents who have or have had children in LS and the same teachers. One other complaint is the un-willingness of the church to make rational decisions about repairs and upkeep to the lower school...the cafeteria for example looks worse than that of any inner city DISD public school. Tour the facilities and ask questions. I think the overall desire for the school to do good is there, but when you are paying good money to send your child there...you want to get your money's worth.”

“Great Christian school with excellent academics. Of the 3 top co-ed Christian schools in Dallas, they are probably the best at dealing with kids that learn differently. We left one of the other top Christian Schools and went to Shelton for 3 years of remediation, which prepared our kid for FBA. Shelton is fantastic for kids that learn differently, but is purely secular.”

“FBA is a great private school and the teachers are excellent. We love it.”

“This is my 3rd yr @ First Baptist. This is also my 3rd school. and by far it surpasses the other 2 i have attended. the teachers really care about your life in and out of the classroom. the athletics are strong and the facilities are state of the art and improving yearly. Unlike a large public achool i am able to be involved in several aspects of the school. im not just labled as one thing such as a jock or band geek, but instead i praticapate in football, swimming, track, chior, theature, and im the class president. my life is my school and the school is my life, between the academics, the faculty, Godly influence and my many close friends it has definatly been the perfect fit for me”

“first baptist academy is an excellent school academically, and the leadership is top notch. The school prepares students well by providing quality education and learning from within a Christian atmosphere. The teachers and leadership are good at what they do, professional, and caring.

“I attended FBA K through 7th grade and found it to be academically sound. The only area where I would have concern would be diversity. It may have changed, but I was one of only 3 hispanic students at my grade level. I grew up to be Catholic, but would have no qualms with allowing my daughter to attend this great school. Teachers give time and special attention when needed. Just to give you an example, I went to a public school a year after leaving FBA, and found the curriculum at public schools to be at least 2 years behind. This school is extremely pricey, but, at least, you get what you pay for.”

“FBA is a wonderful school. The school offers numerous extracurricular activities for all grades, and all students are encouraged to participate. FBA is also one of the most economic college prepartory schools in the area. AP and honores classes are offered in high school, and SAT scores of graduating seniors outrank those of most local public schools and some private schools.”

“FBA is the best of all worlds. It provides a rigorous college prep education from a Christian world-view. It also is an established school with name recognition and all of the extracurriculars that make school fun--high school football and drill team, scout troops, optional art and piano lessons after school, and so much more. After looking at several schools, we found FBA to the best.”
