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 started at Bennington Public School when I was in kindergarten. My experience was very amazing. They answered all your needed questions and was able to help you prepare for the real world. I was able to get the best leaders and support all through high school. Some thing I would like to see changed within the school district is being more vocal with not just the staff, but as well as the students, so we all have a clear mind and understand what is going on.

The teachers at Bennington Secondary School are amazing at showing their interest in their students' educations. They are each very approachable and it is understood that they will help the students with any problems or questions that they may have. They are devoted to teaching their students not only the curriculum but also how to love learning.

Worst. Administration. Ever. If you can look past the horrible leadership, most of the teachers do a good job. The students are very nice, but not very welcoming at first. The female sports are secondary, especially to the administrators. If you are part of the "Good 'ol Boys," then you're set. And...
