Nice campus and great athletic facilities, but not much emphasis on sports like cross country or soccer

I am currently still enrolled in Benton High School; although, that doesn't deter me in objectively stating my experience. The best part of Benton High School were the academics, I love to learn new things—and BHS helps me in achieving this desire. There were no bad times for me; but the pep rallies are the worst part of my ongoing high school experience at Benton High School in Benton, Arkansas.

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
