My oldest went here for kindergarten. The principal, Dr. Mallams, was wonderful. He always greeted the parents and the children in the morning and afternoons. He always interacted with the children. This is the prinicpal any parent would love to have for their kids. The teachers were all very kind and respectful. They seem to really care about the children that attend there.

I've had two children attend this school for the last 3 years. We've become so attached to the school and the teachers we've had. They've taken a genuine and personal interest in my children. This is the best grade school experience we've ever had with any of my kids. We're moving this year and going to another grade school with a wonderful reputation, but it's hard to imagine filling the soft spot of admiration we have for these teacher and this school. They've taken outstanding care of my children and we're all the better for the time we spent there. Dr. Mallam's, principal, can be found at recess playing with the children, in the classroom's interacting with the kids, and dressing up for speical occassions. He has truly set up a positive environment for learning. Thank you!

Dr. Mallams is an exceptional Principal. The school is well mangaged. The teachers hold a high level of pride in their classrooms and students.

My daughter began going to Benton in 2nd grade and is now in 3rd. While she still misses her original school, the teachers are wonderful! My daughter is having difficulty with reading and spelling and the teachers seem to go above and beyond what is expected in order for her to succeed. I do wish there were more parent/teacher/student activities at the school, but what they do have is a lot of fun. Both my daughter and I are looking forward to the Parent's Night Out in December!
