"My son has been at this school for two years. He has learned nothing new from the first year he attended. The principals are very unresponsive. I'm a unsatisfied with this school."

"This school is, bar none, the best possible elementary school you can find! I found this school when my daughter was struggling in her first grade class. The teacher was submitting nothing but "paper and pencil" assignments. We love Benchmark because it encourages creativity and uses several different teaching styles! Best of all, it levels the children off so each child is working at the level that is BEST for them! My son just finished their Pre-K program and I am astonished at the amount he has learned this year. "Mommy, that is not a diamond, that is called a rhombus" (he was 4 at the time) I love this school so much that when I graduated with my teaching degree, I immediatly applied at this school...unfortunately, (for me, not you) they have such a low turnover rate, that nothing was available! I will keep on trying! I will sing Benchmarks praises to anyone and everyone I meet. If you are looking for somewhere where your child will grow socially, emotionally, and most importantly, educationally, you have found it! There is a reason it has a rating of 10!"

"I am curretly going to this school. I have only been there for about 7 monthes and I've been on 8 Feild Trips! WOOHOO! But anyway my teacher is SOOOO nice, Their names are, Mr.Brask,Mrs,Rheinfelder,Mrs,Willaby, and Mrs Spencer. I have never been to a better school in my life. They teach Singapore math which is making me way more smarter since I came from a public school. I needed help with my Math, My teacher actully told me that she would tutor me after school. In her own time, no extra pay. SUCH NICE TEACHERS! They don't have a cafatirea though. U get to eat in the class and you have to make your own lunch or order it from the school. I have made MANY MANY friends here unlike my old public schools. This is the best school."

"This is, hands down, one of the best schools in the entire Phoenix area. The curriculum is challenging and inspiring. The science lab (very nice!) is being run by one of their best teachers, Mrs. Norlander. The kids just love her and she allows lots of hands on learning. I'm so glad to see the change in 3rd grade teachers this year - glad Mrs. J is gone. Teachers groups in kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade and 5th grade this year are absolutely the best. There are 2 teachers per classroom. My kids come home happy and excited about what they learned every day. There is homework and the teachers expect a lot from the students - we are happy in this type of environment but it might not suit all. The curriculum includes lots of specialty units like Roman Festivals, Pioneer Day, Civil War Day, etc. - kids are challenged to do lots of in- class presentations - great to get that skill built early! Thanks to all the teachers and admin. for all your hard work and creating such a great school! (FYI - not every school is perfect - this school has a few minor flaws but the good outweighs any of those minor annoyances.)"

"My daughter and son go to this school. My daughter started in Kindergarden then left for another school in second grade to another "Excelling" school. The other school was nice and had 'hug' days but academically did not challenge my daughter the way she needed to be challenged. We came back to Benchmark for 3rd grade. She loves it there! The teachers believe in educating the kids and keeps the bar high because they know these kids can do the work and do it well."
