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 enjoyed my four years here at Benson High School. There are not a lot of electives they offer but they are fun and helpful if it is a career path you would like to take. The teachers and staff are awesome because they will assist students so that no student is left behind. I would love to see Benson add more electives to their school so that there are a wide variety of classes to take.

I really enjoyed my experience at Benson High School. It was a small school which allowed me to make close friends and get to know everyone in my class. My relationships with my teachers were all good and they worked with me to help achieve my goals.

While its very diverse and the teachers are very supportive... we're a very poor school and so there's not alot of opportunity or financial support.
