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.

I'm a student of Benito in 2016. The school has a lot of excellent teachers and facuilty, they have a lot of knowledgeable teachers, and i feel I had been taken care of. Some things I would've want changed would be the uncommon fun gatherings that we have, it occurs way to low. I don't feel like I could have fun, and it's all work work work. But overall I had a lot of fun attending this school.
