My experience has been good. Lipscomb Academy has a rigorous academic program if you choose to take it. The best parts of Lipscomb Academy are the football games, culture, community, counselors, and opportunities for leadership. The worst parts are the teachers, administration, and the bathrooms. I would love to see more academic and college support/preparation for the senior classes.

It’s not the Christian environment it once was when it was David Lipscomb. Many of the amazing teachers that made this school great have transferred or have been forced out. I regret ever sending my children there.

The teachers and students are very bad. I did not feel welcome at this school. The administration was poor at responding to my friend and I being sexual harassed at this school. Please do not send your child here if you want to have your child free from sexual talk.
