I would have to say the worst thing about Benson high School is the hiring of many unqualified teachers this excluding the various scandals teachers on campus have created.

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.
