They are outdated with their system. They don't provide computer access for children in their classrooms. They don't have a system that helps children who struggle with their schoolwork. They are limited in many ways for children to excel.

The extracurricular activities here are limited. Although the staff are more than happy to assist you in anything you may be interested in outside of school, SLBA itself does not offer much more than "soul-winning" and a teen's Bible club at Monroe High School. If you have an idea, you are free to bring it to the administration. They may or may not approve of it.

Administration is primarily concerned with how people dress and how much money they can raise in their frequent fundraisers. Student ideas and originality are extremely limited if not non-existent.

It’s a school that if you stick with their curriculum till 12 th grade then your children will graduate. It’s good.
