Benton Heights Elementary School

Veronica: I'm very happy that my two girls go to this school, Teacher are well prepared and care about their student. Everyone in the school is a pleasant to speak to from the custodian to the principal. Keep up the great work!!!!!

Benton Heights is a great school. Although, it did not meet AYP and that is definitely important, it doesn't sum up the overall atmosphere of a school. It is one of the most diverse schools in Union County. The atmosphere is wonderful considering they deal with a challenged group of children from low-income and poverty levels. I enjoy the various arts programs that are available to my son there. The only concern that I have at this point is the lack of parental involvement. It's difficult to give consequences to children that will not have constructive, loving consequences at home. And it seems that sometimes the staff is unable to adequately deal with the cultural differences of these children. But overall we are very satisfied thus far.
