Benton High School is so welcoming. As a new student who recently moved, I was welcomed with such positivity and kindness. I made friends the first day. The teachers and faculty were so kind and understanding. As the year goes on, I continue everyday to make new friends and meet new people. Its such a wonderful experience that I am really grateful for.

Because we live in the south, the people at Benton are very conservative in their views. This is personally not something that affects me every day, but as someone who is not very conservative it is weird to be around so many people who believe the opposite of me. However, the faculty and staff at Benton are some of the most caring people I have met. Every principal and office worker know almost everyone's name and that to me is very welcoming and comforting.

The best part about Benton is that it genuinely is a good public school that offers lots of opportunity for the higher education seeking student willing to put in the work, however the administration has made some very questionable decisions and Bossier Parish School board definitely is out of touch with its students at times.

The bathroom policy is simply absurd and shows no respect for students. The bathroom policy being that teachers must ask the administration if students may go to the bathroom. Many times the administration simply ignores the teachers request leaving students stuck in class while having to relieve th...

No interaction with parents about graduating seniors. No assistance with scholarship opportunities beyond students/parents having to visit websites.
