Benton Junior High School is the 8th grade and 9th grade school of the Benton School District. BJH is very secure and protected. Many security cameras monitor and polices officers come to observe and help. Most teachers have passion in what they are doing and are very fun.

The Principal at Benton Junior High has zero concept in the area of supervision. She does not support the teachers, is utterly hateful and is a bully. I do not see how she keeps her job. She is a liability waiting to happen.
