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.

Benzie Central Senior High School is a small, rural high school in Benzonia, Michigan. There are many excellent teachers and a variety of electives and after school sports/clubs/activities. However, being a rural school in Northern Lower Michigan, there was very little diversity among the students, with the majority of them being "white".
