GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My son is in 4th grade at Bent and has been there since Kindergarten. My oldest also went through Bent. The teachers and staff are phenomenal and I cannot speak highly enough of this school. I have always felt that Bent deserves a much higher rating than you see on the internet. Talk to the teachers and families who are part of the school community and you will get a much better feel for how amazing this school is.
