During my tenure at Benton High, I've come to enjoy the time spent of course I've had my hiccups. The teachers here are all great, the band program was wonderful I believe, and the resources there were good although I wish that I had known earlier than I did.

I have loved Benton High School, for the years I have gone. I am in the choir there and academics are a big focus in the school. It is a kind of strict school, but overall its very nice and I couldn't ask for better.

Benton High School is amazing and everyone cares about your success. Teachers take time to make sure they understand the material they are teaching. I believe I am prepared for college in so many ways. Many of the courses that I have taken are college-level. There are also many athletic opportunities at this school. I would highly recommend Benton High School.
