Bennett Elementary School

I have 4 students in this school and couldn’t be any happier. The teachers and admin are wonderful. Three of my kids have IEPs and the process ran smoothly. I love the diversity, constant communication from all teachers, homework policy, wonderful office staff and admins, and even healthy only lunch options.

My son was at Bennett in kindergarten and 1st grade. We have just moved and miss the school very much. Mrs. Graff, Mrs. Colley and Mrs. Watts taught my son to love school. I would take my son back there in a heartbeat if we returned to the area.

Teachers have not impressed me with going above and beyond at this school. I have yet to receive specific information about my child in regards to her abilities. I have had to request conferences because I am told my child is "doing fine". As a former teacher I do hold teachers in high regard and know how hard they work. I also know that each child deserves to have their teacher give specific strengths and weaknesses, at a minimum on report cards. I have zero information on my child. Admin is non existent in the school as well. Aside from rambling phone messages, I have never seen the principal or assistant participate in activities, much less help when things get stressful (such as during arrival or dismissal). Very disappointed. Will not miss this school when we are ready to move on.

As a parent of two children that have attended Bennett I can say that we have been very pleased with the education they have received. The staff has always been great and the teachers are outstanding. Since others have named teachers, I feel that credit should be given to the teacher that had the most impact on our children. Mr. Trexler is one of the best teachers you could ever hope for. He is kind, caring and knows the ins and outs of every child he teaches. Communications with him is excellent, and he goes out of his way for his students. You rock Mr. T!
