My experience with the elementary school was disappointing due to its lack of organization and the unhelpful attitude of both administrative and teaching staff. It's crucial for a positive learning environment, and I hope to see improvements in the future.

Being a military family we looked online for an area to live with the best schools. Benton High School shows academically better than other schools. Sadly we sent our daughters here. They are mixed so we’re bullied. We had to remove one due to bullying because it got so bad. She wanted to fight the girl bullying here but knows she would have a charge against her. It’s disgusting how much bullying goes on and teachers sometimes are part of the bullying issue. If you are a military family take your children to Caddo School district. My girls were 2 years ahead of the curriculum when we moved here and Caddo would have been better for their academics. They set children up for success also when college is involved. Sadly I have to say if your children are white or African American they may be okay in Benton but doesn’t mean they will. A few of my children’s friends took their lives because of bullying in the 3 years they were at Benton High. Also just to add so much is taught using YouTube videos and if your child needs to be actually taught this isn’t the school for them. A lot of coaches are unqualified teachers. It’s ridiculous!!!! Teachers are not supported by the principle. A teacher emailed me because of my daughter being bullied by a child and the teacher told me she asked for help and the asst principle wouldn’t help. He is a major issue. Told us when we met with him there is not a bullying problem at the high school. We had proof through our daughters and their friends and no one seemed to care. Do not take your child here. You are going to ruin their self-esteem letting them be around nasty kids that are raised by nasty parents.

Horrible school, doesn't do anything about bullying
