GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I graduated from Bennington High School in 2018 and it was the best years of my life. The teachers were always willing to help and pushed you to succeed. If I could I would definitely go back and repeat all four years. If I had to change something it would be the new learning system they acquired my senior year and all the political nonsense that went into sports.

It was a family environment that got the entire school involved. I knew the teachers on a personal level and it was like that for everyone. It was a small tight knit community that cared for the students that attended the school.

Some of the staff members are really amazing and actually care about you and your well being. They understand difficult challenges and always do their best to make things work. I have a pretty young set of teachers so they relate well to us and that can be very helpful. There is a lot of favoritism at BHS and that kinda brings things down. If you don't play sports you don't really seem to matter also.

I believe there should be some changes made as far as the board and superintendent are concer...
