This is an amazing school! I cannot imagine sending the kids anywhere else! The teachers are amazing, as are the other parents.

I have had three kids come through this school. My two older kids experienced high-end education, and a taste into many different cultures- it being an IB school. I was very impressed by the friendly Bennett environment and the support coming from the staff. My older kids flourished and they walked into middle school prepared and well educated. After my middle child left (2013), a new principal arrived, and things went downhill. Many of the teachers left along with the principal, and there was a huge shift in the system. These facts can be proven with the scores on this site. I am hoping that my youngest child is able to leave this school like my other kids- prepared and ready for future years of education, however it seems highly unlikely.

We are shocked that Bennett has received a rating of "6". As an IB World school, we love the International Baccalaureate curriculum and that a second language is part of the curriculum. The overall approach focuses on how who we are and what we do inter-relates with the global community overall, while understanding the improtance of our local community.. Our son, now in 4th grade, has attended Bennett for the past four years and he has loved all of his primary and elective class teachers. We also like how the students are challenged to set their own learning goals (along with the required classroom goals) and reflect on their own strengths. Lots of school involvement opportunities and extra-curricular clubs here, too, that are fun and engaging. Kids come from all over Fort Collins to attend this school--we hope you'll consider it better than a "6" because we--and many other Bennett families--do, too!

Both our girls have gone to Bennett IB World School since kindergarten and both of them love it! The teachers are great and promote a respectful behavior from the kids. They keep the kids challenged and make sure they learn up-to-date technology mediated information as well. There are several fun activities and fund raisers that give parents and kids to mingle after school. I think the best event is International Day where children learn about the cultures of other countries (some they have never even heard of so far!). The children going to Bennett are getting a holistic education to face life and its challenges.
