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.

The teachers at Benton Central are very caring and respect the students. They are always willing to help and do what's best for each student.

I don't believe that this school creates an environment in which the students can thrive.. They put much more focus on consequence than the root cause of issues that manifest. There were communication breakdowns regarding the education on my child. I also felt like once a child makes a mistake, they are then labeled and defined by that mistake and not given the opportunity to grow and move past those mistakes. I had high hopes by the rural setting and the smaller class sizes. I was wrong.

Benton Central is a small rural high school with about 600 students in grades 9-12. Since the school has a smaller school population, there are less extra curricular activities; however, the students have the opportunity to participate in several academic and philanthropic clubs.

THIS SCHOOL IS TERRIBLE! I expected better things from this school. Their policies are designed to punish the parent and hinder the student's grades and learning. I'm sorry I chose this school. Take your children elsewhere!
