I really did not like this school. Indeed, i only did like it for my friends from my previous elementary school. Too much bullying. One kid in my old p.e class was a big bully. He hit my friend with a golden chain, and made him bleed. i told the p.e teacher. You know what happened? NOTHING! The bully came the next day. I have also seen him hit my friends. Classes are too large, teachers and administrators just DONT CARE! Its ridiculous. i came here in 6th grade, but now i am in 7th grade, and a former student at TCMS (A good school.) Please send your kids there if you REALLY want them to have the best education possible. Thanks.

This is my son`s first year in this school and I am nicely impressed about organization and discipline. Also, staff is very open to discuss issues about your kid.

Benito Middle School is wonderfully awesome. I am currently attending this school and I think it is really good. The teachers are great, the music program is really fun and cool and basically, the whole environment of Benito MS is very excellent.

The classes here at Benito are large, and not all the teachers are teaching. There are no elective classes, and the Outstanding band program is dwindiling along with the other electives. Although the change in principles was good, The administration lacks involvement, and seemingly could care less about the student body. Im glad to be out of this dump of a school!

This is an average school. If you want the best for your child you should'nt send you child here. It isnt the worst depending upon what team you are placed in. I went to this school in 6th grade. My parents were dissapointed with my fcat scores so they moved me to another school. the location of this school does make it seem very good. But the discpline, studies, and teachers are not good at all. The teachers do not spend to much time on indivdual students.
