I think the school would benefit from having more technology programs and tutorial assistants. These prgrams would benefit are not quite ready for the college experience and those who simply need a one on one resource as better college prep.

I have really enjoyed the club and extracurricular life at this school. Events like Rock & Rock Revival have really showcased musical and performing talent in a way not available to most students. Compared to other schools in the county there is a surplus of extracurriculars. The safety in the school was a weak point my freshman year. I would love to see more school spirit and a better sports department, specifically in football, seeing as our team has only won twice in the last three years.

James M. Bennett is an all-round decent school. From academics to sports, Bennett is just good-enough. There is a noticeable lack in resources for research and science fair experiences. Unfortunately, the school is not very safe and has had a lot of bad situations like gun threats.

Behavior of the students is unacceptable, and the policies for sporting events, dances and extra programs are borderline insan...

James M. Bennett was a great school for my children. They made great friends with peers from a variety of cultures. Bennett is a melting pot of students whose families come from a variety of countries. They appear to get along well. While the students could have been challenged more in some of their...

"BEST school year yet", so my grand daughter says. We move alot, (job related) this is her 8th school to attend and she ranks this one the top! We'd read bad reviews and feared the worst, but the teachers are great and the kids are friendly. She is in 10th grade, honors classes. I can't say enough G...
