Not a lot of clubs offered for many different hobbies, especially if you are interested in STEM Clubs that are not medicine related. Food isn't great all the time, some issues with dress code

The teachers try but administration makes it incredibly difficult for anyone to do their jobs. The dress code is insane along with the absence policy. I've never seen a clean bathroom here and fine arts funding is nonexistent.

I love Benton High School. Myself and many others enjoy waking up and going to school every day because of the community Benton gives us. All teachers and administrators are very encouraging and believe the student body can do anything.
