I moved to Benton in the middle of my sixth grade year in 2019. It was hard moving to a new state but the culture in the Benton community made it easy to be happy. I've been at Benton High School since 2022 and it is amazing. I have been exposed to many academic activities to help me in the future like ap and multiple dual enrollment classes. They also have a wide variety after school clubs and programs to help everyone get involved. I myself am part of honor societies where I do community service and it's nice to get out and help people. I am also apart of the band at Benton and it is the best. We have such a loving environment and we are really like a real family. That's how it is all the time at Benton. We are all from different walks of life but in the end we are there for each other.

Benton High school was truly the best High school to go to where I'm from the atmosphere is amazing. Everybody knew everybody, all the teachers are supportive and want to know you as well as students and the administrators make sure we're as safe as we can be.

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.

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.

Lots of bullying that teachers dont care about. There are a few nice teachers though.
