Benton School District is why we moved here from Las Vegas... BHS is a awesome school, the remodel is beyond belief. Education is top notch.

The classrooms are comfortable for the children. They will dim the lights or put cloth over the lights to make the classroom a more relaxed environment. Some teachers allow the kids to remove their shoes, chew gum if it helps them focus, and even bring fidget spinners to class. Our child has excelled while at Caldwell. She originally went to Ringgold before we moved. While going to Ringgold, she fought us going every single day and refused to get out of the car. Now that she’s been going to Caldwell, she hates missing school! She loves every single teacher, has made many friends, and looks forward to all of her classes. She’s become even more outgoing. The lunch menu is better than Ringgold according to her. I highly rate this school. Given the chance to do it over again, I’d pick Caldwell every time.

As a recent attendant of this school, I can say this school is complete trash. During lunch, they weren't allowed to go outside. They were kept inside all the time during the lunch hour. You can get in trouble for the dumbest reasons at this school. The school dress code is stupid to. Who gets distracted by shoulders. This school also promotes bullying as said in another review. They don't do anything to help your situation which furthers the bullying once you tell an admin, someone you thought you could trust. Your teachers will sometimes even join in on your peers harassments. The school lunch here is also not that good. They always serve fries and rarely tator tots. They have no salt. They also serve the same lunch items over and over again. There is this one lunch lady who I enjoyed talking to every day. Her name is Mrs. Mellissa, she is an overall great person.

We've had wonderful experiences at the school for many years. We only had an issue with the GT teacher with 2 of my kids, but she is at MVMS now. The principal is a lot. She is strict on dress codes and is very demanding on getting her way. Otherwise, the school is fine.
