I have went to this school 3 different years,and there is a lot of things in this school,I have been to at least 7 different schools,and this is the worst. The teachers are nice,but the other kids are not,and a lot of kids are struggling with grades and mental health,and drugs but this school does little to nothing to help them.

The best part of being at the Bennett County high school is how everyone is so proud no matter what activity, class or sport. Everyone from the community to students are involved.

I have enjoyed my time at Bennett County greatly. The school has a cozy, small town atmosphere where most people in the school get along. You are also able to tell the teachers care about your success and will help you to reach your goals.
