Benbrook Elementary School

Excellent teachers and caring staff. We are definitely going to miss the school!

This has been the best 2 years of my 5th graders life. I love this school. My 7 yr old and grand children attend this school. We will all stay in this area to ensure the best for our child. Test scores do not rate a school solely.

I have had wonderful experiences at this school.

When my son was in Kindergarten he went missing on the first day of school. They said he got in some black truck when we told them that we would pick him up at back door. Our son is also on a special 504 and I could never get them to follow through completely and help modify as requested. Our daughter is an advanced student and she told us last year she was being bullied. I brought it to the principal's attention and she said "Our students are held to the highest standards and I highly doubt your daughter is being bullied". Guess what? 3 weeks into school she comes crying to me it is happening again. I thought that maybe it was just my son exaggerating, but when my straight "A"/"B" student daughter (never in trouble) comes to me and says Principal wont do anything... 1 kid is a maybe, but 2 and with different personalities? Nope, sorry. Maybe if problems were address with what even LOOKED like a bit of concern by the principal, but she shows -0- emotion. Sorry, actions speak louder than words so you telling me you will 'look into it' NOPE. Sorry, school in general - the teachers- most of them are awesome. Principal may need to take a class on emotions and help. Sorry... I hate writing such a foul report but if I don't and the next parent comes in with a child with disabilities thinking this is a good school to put their kid in, I'm not doing them any favors. A large group of my friends have pulled their kids out this year to. To home school or to go to another school.
