    "This is our second year at Benchley and we absolutely love it! Ms. Patton (the new principal) is communicative and energetic. She has high expectations of students and staff, sending the message that every student at the school has limitless potential. We are looking forward to our younger daughter starting kindergarten next year and both of our girls being BW Pandas. The teachers we have come across so far are wonderful and caring. A lot of effort is put into creating an educational yet nurturing atmospehere for students. The art and music classes are outstanding and the librarian and PE teacher are some of the best I've seen. There is a lot of parent and community support as well. We feel confident that our daughters are going to have a great start to their education at Benchley!"

    "Our experience at BW has been nothing but great. Our Son (Kindergarten) loves his teacher. She is great to work with, and very mild mannered and patient with the kids. In less than half of a year our Son's reading and writing have grown leaps and bounds. I will agree that there are one or two crabby people in the office. But since I rarely visit the office, I don't see that as a problem. I'm more concerned about my Son's Teacher and Principal, which in my opinion are both excellent. Kindergarteners have "sharing" each week, where they get up in front of the class and talk about a given subject. We love this, as it will really help him learn to be comfortable speaking in front of others. He also has an Spanish class one day a week (costs extra) and soon will be doing an after school science class (extra). The new Principal is awesome. She knows many of the kids by name and is very approachable. We were THRILLED when we heard tha tthe old Principal was gone since that was the main knock on the school before. The before and after school care is handled by the YMCA and everyone who we have dealt with has been great. our Son enjoys the play/craft time after school."

    "The school may be great on test scores, but is seriously lacking in communication - unless it is for fund-raising. My 1st grader, along with 10 others, were placed in a kinder/1st combo class. Their classroom is a kinder classroom, on the opposite end of the school from the other 70+ 1st graders. Parents were not informed about this placement, and the principal was "surprised" that many of us were so upset. We were told how lucky our kids were because we had such a great teacher... well, no one felt it necessary at that time to inform us that she was also a "long term sub". 6 weeks into the semester, the teacher was involuntarily moved to another school. We were informed of this 1 hour before the end of class on the teacher's last day. And the kicker... no new teacher has yet been assigned. So now we have 11 1st graders, mixed in with 9 kindergarteners, and no teacher. The principal speaks like a politician instead of an academic leader. She is quick to tell you that it is not her fault and to write to congress. I will be applying to Green next year, where I hear that along with great test scores, they also have a great principal and fantastic communication with parents."

    "2010-2011Schoo Year First year at BW so dissapointed in BW! Office staff is a mix of nice and very rude personel. Principal Jacobs and teachers to busy with test scores and the distinguished status not really focusing on students real needs. Mrs. Jacobs lacks leadership and people skills needed to support this school extremely disrespectful to children, parents and staff. Great group of parents, volunteers and some nice not to burned out teachers."
