Bennett Venture Academy Elementary

Posted June 10, 2009

I have been a parent of 2 children that go to this school for the past 2 years now. I can't tell you enough how fantastic the teachers are here at Bennett. They go out of their own personal way to make every child have success. The only problems I have encountered come with dealing with administration. The principal is awful. It's almost as if she could care less about the children and teachers as well. If you ever have a problem that she needs to help you with you might as well forget it. As for pick up and drop off the school does its best to help everyone with the space they have. If your looking for a school with awsome educators then this is your school. If your looking for a school where the administration is helpful and kind, go to another school!

My daughter has absolutely soared in every aspect at BVA after enduring 3 horrible years at TPS. All of her teachers at BVA seem to really care about her as an individual student and not just as a test score. On the other hand My son is bored in class and needs to be challenged more. He had a problem with bullies at one point during this year and we had meetings with his teachers and the principal about it. While the teachers and even the school counselor were all concerned and interested in finding a solution to this, the principal acted as if we were interrupting her day with our petty problem. She really didn't care. I've felt this attitude from the office staff as well whenever I've had to deal with them about anything. They are very rude sometimes. Picking up after school can be a nightmare, but that is a small price to pay in my opinion. Overall, the school and its educators are excellent the administrative staff and especially the principal should be replaced.

I have to disagree with the other posts that I have read about BVA. I think that BVA is a pocket of excellence in the city of Toledo. The teachers work very hard and the administration has always taken the time to listen to my concerns. I have two children that attend and both are challenged everyday. I think that for a school that has only been open for 4 years they are reaching well above any public schools in the area.
