Great Elementary School. Academics are the focus as kids are constantly challenged. Reading is very important with the school and I have seen a huge difference in my kids in their reading skills.

The bathroom policy is simply absurd and shows no respect for students. The bathroom policy being that teachers must ask the administration if students may go to the bathroom. Many times the administration simply ignores the teachers request leaving students stuck in class while having to relieve themselves. On top of that many of the teachers (not all) and the administration show little to no respect for the student body and students as individuals.

Benton Middle school doesn’t care about mental health. If you are missing assignments the World is going to end and they will lock you up in a room all day with kids who get in trouble. I don’t know why I fell for the “Benton has the best schools!” They lied. It’s a small town so obviously the ones who say it’s the best is the ones who grew up here and know everyone. The only school in Benton that is the best is Kingston Elementary. They even make plans for your child without informing you or getting your consent. I didn’t know the administration has the right to make decisions for you! Controlling much? Shady! Very shady. I would not recommend this school at all. We are military and never once had a problem at schools. Usually the schools we been to care about the student mental health or well being. Here is about school ratings to make them look good. They don’t care what it takes. Even the vice principal said on the phone….” I don’t care what your child is going through and I don’t want to know!” What kind of school is this???
