This school defiently needs help. Not a very good sports program, principale, or administration. The only good thing about this school is they have some good teachers.

My school is amazing, we have plenty of great kids in honors classes and higher who give it their all to try and achieve success, but we don't have a very good budget, and our school could definitly use more money to help out the students to make it to success.

I worked in Bensalem High School and I have to tell you, the kids there are the most wonderful kids.

I graduated from BHS in 2005 and looking back, it was one of the better high schools i went to and I went to a number of them. Many of the great teachers I had are no longer there, but I hope Bensalem found replacements that can compare. Although I found the inner system to be lacking to someone who did not grow up in the Bensalem district, overall I found the education and experience to be good.

Currently, I am a senior in this school. I strongly believe that my last three years have been the best years of my life. The school is great, as are the teachers. For those that believe the school is crappy, you are just looking in the wrong spots. All my expierences in this school have been positive. The teachers are amazing and the curriculum is good--and improving. Over all, this school has been a positive experience. I would choose BHS over other schools any day.

I'm going to be a sophmore at Bensalem High School this year, and so far this school has been great. The math program and teachers are between good and just so-so, but other than that this school has fantastic curriculums that keep up with some of the more 'pretigious' high schools in Bucks County. It has an excellent music program that has led Bensalem to national competitions and recognition. The teachers will set up after school sessions for struggling students, and from someone who used them, they help tremendously. Bensalem has an excellent selectin of extracurricular activites. In my ninth grade year, the principal has been trying to enforce many of the rules and I've seen a drastic change in the fight counts and better behavior. Furthermore, I believe Bensalem High School is a great place with good, smart students that will leave your children and young adults prepared for life.

I went to Bensalem High School for four years. Overall I think it is a pretty decent school. The principal right now (2007) Mr. Perry is a very good guy and is good with getting straight to the point. Like anything else there are always going to be the kids who give the school a bad name but as a whole it is a pretty solid system they have in place. They have a lot of extracurricular activities in place and electives like ROTC, Band, Choir, that kind of thing. Through my experiences the teachers are sincere in what they do and will go out of their way to help out a student.
