Bensley Elementary School

En mi opinión esta escuela es buena por que se preocupan por que los estudiantes asistan todos los dias a la escuela, muestra mucho orden en todo y es muy limpia

This is the worse school ever the stuffing sucks so bad I had to take my son out and switch to henrico school and he is doing so much better they don’t know how to work with black kids

My daughter received a death threat note on Friday from two students asking her to sign the bottom. We were never notified by the principal OR teacher. Only found out due to my daughter mention being in counseling in which the school also never notified the parents of. Even criminals have a right to have someone with them but my 9 year old did not?This is the direct reason things happen. The schools go above and beyond to cover everything up and pay it no attention. They did not contact authorities OR the parents. The schools informed 9 year old the kids were suspended even though they were in the parent pickup line and finished out the day of school. GET BETTER. WAKE UP. TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN THATS WHAT YOUR PAID TO DO AND SIGNED UP FOR

This school is so amazing! The administration and staff genuinely loves the kids and goes above and beyond for them in every aspect. Moved here from another school that was deemed better in the area but Hopkins is by far a better school and so glad we moved and ended up at Hopkins!

I was employed at the school. This place has a notorious reputation for being a poor school. I worked there for a year and was forced to resign due to the principal, giving me such a poor review after several struggles with behavior, problems, ranging from students, destroying my classroom and fits of rage, throwing chairs, and fighting each other. I mentally could not handle the stress, and it affected my professionalism. There were teachers who disrespected other teachers asked inappropriate title, nine violation questions such as Are you gay? they would also refuse to assist in any disciplinary action when extreme behaviors hindered the class from learning. even during a classroom observation, the principal chose not to intervene with two kindergarten students who were physically attacking each other, and I had to be in the middle of it. I thought that this was incredibly unprofessional, and was a chosen act to have me look bad, so he could prove that I wasn’t meeting the standards of a teacher who could continue working for CCPS. after being placed on administrative leave pending my non-renewal of my contract, I chose to resign and put the matter to rest for my own well-being. Now I’ve just been left, struggling to make ends meet as a teacher working in a lower paying job than before, w-paying job than before, with my reputation hindered due to false and one-sided accusations. I wish the school no luck, and I hope reform comes down the line to help the students at the school progress forward and not backwards each year with new administrations and continuing behavior and disruptions throughout the school year each day.

Pretty good School. If I could give criticism about anything, it would be the fact that they do not show recognition to the children for their grades. My daughter has gotten on a roll, straight A’s, and distinguished on a roll for years and doesn’t know the true meaning of recognition. Not even a certificate.
