GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I had a lot of good experiences at Benton. They have many opportunities for their students to be in clubs, sports, or really anything. Everyone has an equal opportunity to be involved if they put forth the effort. I was in Speech, National Art Honors Society, and performed in plays/musicals. They also have wonderful staff that genuinely care about their students. I believe that several teachers would do anything to help their students.

I loved Benton. I think it is a really great school with wonderful staff. I have made so many new friends through out my high school years here. Leaving here this spring will be bitter sweet. The school has prepared me for college very well.

The extracurricular activities are fairly good, and the sports teams are some of the best in the state, but the school is woefully underfunded academically.

Overall a great high school with dedicated teachers and plenty of courses and extra-curricular activities. Sports often takes more precedence over the fine arts at this school. Nevertheless, the fine arts offered are still valued by the faculty and staff.
