My daughter started in Feb 2024 at this school. She has level 2 Autism and the school has been very involved in her education and providing in school therapy (Occupational/Speech). We had 2 IEP meetings and the principle, teacher, therapists, and other important team players were all there and involved. We are so blessed to have such a school for her to attend. She loves it and the children love her too! It made me cry seeing them treating her so well. This school is the best! We love the teachers and staff. If you’re looking for an area with a good school, this is a truly wonderful school!

This is our second year at Benjamin (first full year). I am impressed by the level of commitment the principal has to ensure the students feel supported and successful. The teachers are very good at communication and working with the kids on what they need. This school is in an area that has a high level of kids moving in and out of the area to due parents relocating to the area, and this school, by far, handles this better than any other school in the district.
