I have been going to Briarcrest Christian School since I was in kindergarten. I've pretty much experienced all it has to offer. Overall, my time at Briarcrest has been wonderful. I feel as though I've been adequately prepared for college. I think one area that my school needs to improve is putting sports above fine arts. They are always doing things to improve the sports program, but there is not much effort put into fine arts by those higher up.

A great school that has so much to be thankful for. Huge emphasis on sports, mainly (only) football and basketball, other sports are mostly ignored. Great education. Amazing teachers that want only the best. Amazing musical, theatre, and extracurriculars.

My time at Briarcrest has adequately prepared me for heading out to college. This does not just happen by accident, this occurs because most of the teachers are willing to not only help you throughout all of the day but also before and after school. Included with that are the materials the teachers teach us. The curriculum allows all students to be prepared before heading off to college.

Any student who does not fit into their homogenous southern, white, hetero...
