Benhaven Elementary

Excellent staff, teachers and administrators! They have a true love for learning and they are always planning extra curricular events for the kids.

Very good! This school has an excellent principal & teachers.

My 5th grade son was having problems focusing in class, then he started acting out. I attended every meeting and even sat in the classroom with teacher so we could work on improving his behavior and academics. My son told me his teacher was mean to him, and I just assumed he felt that way because of his lack of effort. The teacher and I came up with a way to keep him on track and she did not follow through. Then my son gave me specific word for word details of how she spoke to him. I went to address the principal my concerns and she said she had nothing to do with it. I was shocked with her lack of concern and unwillingness to address the issue. I spoke to the teacher and she was rude and short. Since my son left that school his current teachers have nothing but great things to say about him. I was disgusted with the administration lack of professionalism and support. I do not recommend this school. The small family atmosphere they have created which I initially viewed as a benefit seemed to prohibit any consequences or supportiviness with the families.

Not happy with school not having potable water. We switched from a charter school to be closer to home and didn't know the water had lead in it. Many of the parents where we live don't send their kids here but look for other options. Also tired of the petty notes. Plan to change our kid's school next year.
