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.

The female sports are secondary, especially to the administrators. If you are part of the "Good 'ol Boys," then you're set. And...

Moved to Bennington School District over 10 years ago because of the top-rated public school system ... and have never been disappointed. LOVE BPS!
