All I can say is that after reading these reviews, each one is entitled to their opinion. HOWEVER, some of the info stated is WRONG!!!! This school has excellent opportunities for ALL grade levels. I'm not too very sure of what opportunities this one parent felt their child was lacking, but I can tell you EMPHATICALLY, FBA offers ALL of the sports, academics, extra curricular( the year book, newspaper) and music any parent could want. If you were to make the FBA choice, you would not be disappointed.
Personally I don`t like this school. Enough said. If I had a choice to send my daughter to a different school, I would take the opportunity in a second.
GREAT school!!! My son excelled academically and had a very positive experience. Great teachers, small classes, music and athletic opportunities--all in a secure environment. They now have Kindergarten through 12th grade!
Very disappointed with the lack of programs for the younger grades. They seem to start things in 3rd grade.... Curriculum is not all that challenging. No Christmas program for the school unless you go to church (the church has one). I feel like I drop my child off, and that is it. No community feel at all. I get papers to raise money for the school and that is it. I guess we were spoiled by another private school and I have tried to have an open mind but have been very discouraged by what it is lacking.
