Parkview Baptist School (PBS) is a private K-12 Christian school located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States.

Overview

With 1,260 students,[1] Parkview Baptist School is the largest private school in Louisiana.[2] The school began with students from kindergarten to sixth grade in 1981, adding grades 7–12 in 1983. PBS is now divided into three administrative units: Parkview Baptist Elementary School (K-4), Parkview Baptist Middle School (5-8), and Parkview Baptist High School (9-12). Grade 5 was moved to be part of the middle school in fall 2008.

In 1981, the school was founded by members of the Parkview Baptist Church. The school and church were integrated into one core entity, but both maintain control of individual issues.

Parkview is governed by a school board that consists of appointed members from the school, church, and community.[1]

PBS is also accredited with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
