“I would have to say that most of the negative comments on this page are by those who have not gotten to know those who run the school nor stay involved with the school. Not only am I a 1992 graduate of the school and attented JH and HS there, but my son has attended since kindergarten and will be graduating the 6th grade this year. The public schools in our area are pathetic (one reason why I never attended them) and have gotten worse over time. I know both sides, because my step daughter attended public school and I had more problems from it and would not wish it on any parent. A majority of the teachers there have been teaching there for years and some up to 30 years. The school is at least 2 years ahead of the Dallas and Mesquite school districts. Well worth the money.”

“I love BSCA. My two children go there and they learn lots and there is discipline in place. Any parent that feels that there is too much work and the rules are too strict should reconsider their childs enrollment. Public school is a 'free ride'. Parents must pay tuition for their children to attend and I like to get what I pay for. Dr. Henderson and the staff are good, God loving christians and you can see it. Thank God for BSCA.”

“Ok for grade school bur definatley not for high school. Those associated with the leaders (pastor) get special privileges and the other students see it therefore it causes low moral.”

“i think that the school is okay. i do like the extracurricular activities although they are limited.the uniforms are not the most comfortable nor fashionable clothes ive worn but they do keep from judgement. some of the teachers however are harsh and cruel to kids and have favies. but the christian form of the school is great. the work could be a little easier and they could at least not pile it up sometimes but i think its about average.”

“The school is fine until you get to jr. high and high school. The way teachers treat us is different and some of them even have favorites. Sometimes the teachers blame one kid for something that another kid did. The education is ok, but the teachers aren't the best at all. I personally do not like most of the teachers and would like to see some of them leave!!!!”

“I noticed how smart a neighbors child was and asked what school she attended. I was told BSCA well it was time for my daughter to attend school so my wife and I looked into BSCA small school (I like that) focus on God Family and Education. I was all in and have been happy ever since. I especially like the firm discipline as this is missing from ours schools and very much needed.”

“My child attends B.S.C.A. now. The academics are A plus. The staff is helpful and attentive. They do have fine arts for junior high and high school. They do offer all sports and the coaches are fabulous. Parents can be included however you have to inquire. They give your child what they need for college and nothing else. They cut no slack on anyone. There are those who differ but they are the negative ones in the crowd. I love this school. And my child will graduate for there. And be ready for college.”

“My daughter attended 9th & 10th at BSCA because of the poor school district in the area.I thought it was within her best interest at the time. The theological teachings were wonderful,but the fundamental curriculum was very poor. The discipline was harsh and only handed out to a select few not affiliated to the associated church, Seagoville Baptist. We have since moved over 300 miles away to a wonderful school district. My advice to anyone thinking of sending their child,if they're in grade school it may be your best option given the area. Not for High school age.”

“This is a great school if you are looking for your child who is under 6th grade, beyond 6th grade I would not recommend this facility. I graduated from this school after attending all of my school years there. This school does not prepare for college.”

“My daughter has been attending BSCA for 6 years now. She is in the 5th grade this year. I have always been impressed with the academics with BSCA and the fact that they intill a Christian value along with tradidtional teachings. They use the BEKA program and it has proved to be a wonderful program. My daughter has excelled above and beyond her peers that attend public school.”

“I was a student at B.S.C.A in 1995, it is a fantastic school, I would not hesitate to send my daughter to this school if I lived in Texas. They have great teaching skills and are willing to help one on one with any student who is having trouble in a subject. This is a great school.!!!”

“I was a past student at B.S.C.A., and the two years I attended, the 'Teacher Quality' was excellent always one on one with the students. 'Extracurricular Activities' there weren't any. 'Parent Envolvement' no parents not even my own got envolved with the school. 'Safety and Discipline' every student obeyed the rules, very strict with discipline. 'Overall Quality' is your own opinion. I would never send my son to that school, I know the school inside and out.”
