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.

Benbrook Middle/ High School is a really great school show up at. My experience at Benbrook is very vague because I'm just a sophomore but my days here were fun. School-wise there are a lot of facilities and clubs to join. There are a bunch of sports to be apart of. The only issue I have is the students. There are classes that some students are in. The counselors are very flexible about where some students are placed and that makes the students slack off since they are with their friends. It depends though, because it depends in what type of class.
