The Bennington school system is appalling! We come from another state with MUCH better schools, so our experience here has been terrible. If you ever need to contact a principal, vice principal, or even the state education department, forget it! They don’t take or return phone calls most of the time! My child’s teacher this year is excellent, last year the teacher was terrible even threatening to punish my child for stating they had a crush on another student (which according to the APA is healthy and normal!). In fact, when I called the teacher on this in a communication book we had been keeping for many months, that book disappeared forever. We hope to move out of the state at some point so that we don’t have to deal with this negligence for the rest of my child’s school years. It’s quite disgusting & disrespectful. Administration obviously thinks very little of the children, families, their jobs & responsibilities, etc. I would not recommend this school, or even this town or state of Vermont for that matter. They don’t take state we came from, the state education department was also much more attentive. If I could give a zero star rating, I would.
