GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Benson Elementary School is a good example of lack of community and town support stacked with county and lack of state funding. Our children are attending Benson Elementary, they love the atmosphere and positive vibe. As parents that are involved with our children we see teachers trying and mostly succeeding in educating with the tools they have. Although some tools are outdated. But on the flipside teachers are leaving for different career choices. The new principal Mrs Dunston is making positive changes but without the support of others it a very hard battle and the education suffers.
