What Parents Say
Central Baptist School is a religious private school in Memphis with highly polarized reviews. Positive reviewers praise the caring teachers, rigorous curriculum, affordable tuition, and Christian environment, while negative reviewers cite outdated facilities, strict policies, limited activities, and poor maintenance.
We love this school. My children have been here for 3 years. The teachers love the children. The curriculum is rigorous and my children are progressing very well. Aside from the biblical priority, we wanted a school that didn't provide tablets or laptops for the course work, and we wanted our children to learn cursive, too. Many schools (we toured (private and public)) did not teach cursive in the classroom and students were issued tablets. The school is very much a ministry of the church and is christ-focused (as it should be). The tuition is the most affordable for private schools in the area. I highly recommend Central Baptist.
Very happy with this school. No school is perfect and there are occasional hiccups, but I love that the teachers really care about the kids and our principal is wonderful. We changed schools during 2020 and do not regret our choice. I would recommend for those seeking a Christian school for their children.
I wish I could give this a 0 star review. This school is very bad. The school is badly outdated and NEEDS to be remodeled. The ceilings are leaky and the carpet is moldy. The teachers are too strict. The dress code is insanely strict for both boys and girls. The bathrooms are RIDICULOUSLY small. There are barely any extracurricular activities. There is no football. There are ZERO clubs. There is NO prom, only Homecoming and Junior/Senior Banquet. You cannot perform any type of dancing including ballroom. The food is okay. For a Christian school, the students are not very Christian-like, along with being racist 😞. The school is very poor and can barely afford any new books, for example the Spanish textbook is outdated and came out in the 1990's 😬. There are only two buses and they're half-size. They only recently got laptops after having 20 box computers for the past 10+ years. The choir is mediocre, along with band. The sports teams do horrible at every game. They took away the fit PE teacher for an overweight one. The school gives out WAY too much homework even on days when they're not supposed to (Wednesday). There is no elevator in the office building, limiting accessibility for those with mobility challenges. The college recruitment options are severely limited, with only Pensacola Christian College and Bob Jones University visiting the campus. The school should be better for the tuition the parents have to pay. I went to this school for a very long time and it disappoints me how stuck in the past they are. Please stay away from this school and find a better one. If Mr. Crutchfield sees this please change this school for the better. Amen. 🙏🏻
Central Baptist School is a great Christian school the administrator Greg Reese is a great man and runs the school to the best of his ability. He is a good Godly leader and the kind of administrator you want at your child's school. If you are looking for a great school to enroll your child in I highly recommend Central Baptist School feel free to schedule a tour and check out their campus.
i didn't like it because i was tired of private schools for 13 yrs straight lmao. also got tired of the small building and classrooms.
