Bennington Elementary School

this school was terrible my son was there for kindergarten and was getting beaten up on the playground where no teacher seemed to be able to see what was going on. He told me they were all sitting around talking during recess. he was scared to go to school and would come home crying and not even know why he was crying. He was stressed out and I had talks and emails with his teacher and the principal and nothing was really being solved so we took him out of this school.

When I was there one of the teachers made me cry and didn’t say sorry or I didn’t mean to make you cry They only “apologized” after I told someone they made 3 other kids cry that year. One of the teachers yelled at me when I didn’t hold the door for someone the person wasn’t disabled it was I wasn’t being a gentlemen I was in the 3rd grade. One of the kids didn’t do any work and was fine one kid slept the most classes and was ok. My friend was bullied for crying, the teacher didn’t do much. They banned a game for having a “bad” name. This was the 4th grade we would get in trouble for playing. My 2nd grade teacher threw a chair and broke a plastic bin they scared me and my friends at the table. There are good things like natures classroom and some field trips and going outside and the museum right by the school but that gets boring and repetitive. Some teachers are nice and that does help. There are fun trips that we went on . That’s all

Administration is more concerned with fundraising and enrollment numbers than “partnership” with parents and modeling Christ to the school community and surrounding community. Administration labels “secular” and “public school” children and families as lesser humans. Truly sickening. Staff consists of many “educators” who have no actual training or certification. Parents who question unBiblical practices are labeled and shunned. Just because this place is cheaper does NOT mean that you should waste your children’s education on this school that places the word Christian in its name. I wish there was a way for me to sit down with you and share our nightmare experiences. Board, Administrators and “teachers” are not trustworthy and focused on donations and enrollment numbers. Please use discretion and ask to speak with parents who question the administration and largely misguided policies. Please don’t allow yourself to be fooled by a purpose statement that may “check the boxes.”

Excellent school with wonderful teachers and staff! Dedicated to teaching and engaging the students with an emphasis on morals and accountability. My children love the school and look forward to being with the teachers and their friends.
