Bennett Elementary School

Horrible experience at this school. My son head got busted open in gym class and NO one could tell me what happened. Do not suggest anyone to send their child to this school, especially if they're African American.

Bennett is lead by an amazing principal named Josette Buendia. She has an excellent rapport with the parents, students, staff, and community. She has developed partnerships with numerous organizations to provide assistance to parents and students. Students are offered so many things free of charge at Bennett. Each student has the opportunity to attend numerous educational field trips at little or no cost. Gleaners has partnered with the school to provide weekly food bags for needy families. University of Michigan comes in to teach art to 4th and 5th graders. Tutoring is offered after school along with karate, boy scouts, girl scouts, soccer, volleyball, and even violin classes. Breakfast and lunch is provided to students of low-income free of charge. Bennett also has Playworks which is an organized play program. Students settle conflicts on the playground with themselves using the skills taught through Playworks. Bennett also has a state of the art computer lab with over 40 fully functioning computers. Numerous volunteers come in on a daily basis to read with students. During Christmastime , an organization called Bridgepointe brings gifts for every child and comes with over 200 volunteers to make it a special day for every single child who attends Bennett.The staff at Bennett is one of the best in Detroit! Each classroom is taught by highly effective and certified teachers. Each classroom is equipped with up to date technology including, computers, ipads, promethean boards , and elmos to assist with teaching the curriculum. If you live near Southwest Detroit or elsewhere, I would definitely consider Bennett Elementary school!

Bennett is a wonderful school in Southwest Detroit. The teachers are all highly qualified in their subject matter. Our staff, not just the teachers but the school service assistants, custodians, engineer, office staff, etc. go above an beyond what is required of them to ensure that our students have a positive environment conducive to student learning and success. Our principal is also very supportive of the teachers making sure that we have the necessary materials and supplies that we need to teach our students. I highly recommend Bennett Elementary School as a place to bring your child for his/her education.

yo personalmente recomendaria esta escuela Bennett por que hay muy Buenos maestros y sobretodo hay bilingues y mas que nada se han echo muchos cambios con nuestra directora nueva pero me gustaria que pusieran clases de musica y ballet para las ninas y soccer para los ninos y que hay muchos progamas para los padres ok grasias

Mi opinion es buena la escuela bennett tiene un nivel academico muy bien buenos maestros, solo en la comida algunas veces sus desayunos no lesgustan a los ninos se podria mejojar en esas cuestiones.
