Posted by a teacher on 11/18/2015This school is exceptional. Our daughter is a third grader at Benton Elementary. The staff and teachers are passionate about their mission (STEM education) and we have nothing but good things to say about our experience at the school.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with this school has not been a warm or welcoming one. 1) During drop off and pick up they have staff but they are not helpful much. They want the kids to move fast but are not doing anything to spend up the process. 2) They are not good at keeping parents informed. If my child could change schools I would not hesitate.Parent Review4y ago - Shepard Blvd. Elementary School

Please do some research before allowing anyone to claim an address OR at least require updates be mandatory in case their facility moves. Tired of seeing this “private school” at my residence!
