Bennett/Kew Elementary School

My son is in first grade and i dont like the fact that his class is combined with 2 grade and it has 32 students to 1 teacher and no aide. I beleive that his teacher is a great teacher. Therefore I grade the school a 3

I really don't get how people can give this school five stars. It deserved five stars back in the days when I was a student there, but not now. Maybe 3 stars now. Maybe I just have higher standards. My son if extremely bright and it is not being academically challenged here.

They dont pay much attention to the kids how they used to...my son came out of that school as an A student 6 years ago till today...my kids now dont get the same attention he used to get...most of the kids need tutoring now.They need to be more challeging like when Mrs. Fong was there.

Bennett Kew has an excellent staff of teachers who truly believe in academic rigor. Administration is dedicated and concerned with the students well being.

My daughter is currently a 1st grader at Bennett-Kew. I am very happy thus far with my daughter's progress and learning. Her teachers have been great thus far, and I love the 22 max. students in a classroom which you do not easily find in other public schools in the area.

I am a Parent and a Alumni of this school. And you know there is something profound going on here if you can come back and still see some of the same administration still there from 20 years ago. My daughter has been to two different schools until finally we have made Bennett-Kew our home. She says she doesn't want to leave and wants to make sure she graduates from this school in particular. after 4 years in elementary my daughter is now on the Principals Honor Roll! Who could ask for anything more. The teacher's dedication to there students is astounding and the cirriculum truely prepares these children for Junior High or Middle School. I have complete faith that these teachers will have my child ready for the next level.

The academic program is excellent. The teachers are very experienced professionals who are dedicated to the students.Numerous teachers have been at Bennett-Kew for decades and that's very reassuring. There aren't may extracurricular activities to speak of, so if you have a child that seeks those things they will have to look elsewhere. There is a good amount of parent involvement due to the fact that parents' are openly and readily accepted to lend a helping hand in any area. I would definitely recommend this school.

Quality curriculum for students and parents seeking to obtain a strong foundation in the basics (reading,writing,mathematics). The curriculum is weak in providing instructional opportunities for science,social studies, and art.

Excellent school. The teachers are truly dedicated. Effective instruction. Administration is supportive. Challenging curriculum. Hardly ever any school fights. I attended this school as a child and my son attended it as well and the quality improves every year.
