If you're apart of the LGBTQ community you WILL be outcasted. Kids are horrible. Most teachers were not the best overall. But The art teachers were amazing. The administration was okay.

Bennington offered me lots of opportunities when it came to classes and other courses. I was able to complete 5 AP classes for college credit over my junior and senior year. They also have good programs for sports, and an overall good environment to learn in. Almost every teacher I had truly cared about their students and wanted to see us succeed.
