LBES is a wonderful school. Faculties here are very nice and patient to the kids. My son love to study here and love his teacher Mrs Loftis. I think this is a mandatory requirement I choose a school for my kids.

LBES is an excellent school. I have three children attending, one with an IEP, and I couldn't say enough about the excellent education and resources that are provided. Mr. Miller provides solid leadership, and Mrs. Helton's thoughtful approach to counseling and character-building programs is extraordinary. We love the LBES family and are proud to be Eagles.

I think LBES is a great school. We have only been here for a year and it made my children's transition to a new state and new school effortless. I really love the program that they have for new children to integrate into the school. The administration and staff have been great and very communicative. They have an awesome array of after school enrichment classes for students as well (STEM, Arts, Languages) that I was very happy to have my children enrolled in. Can't wait for our second year at LBES to begin in Sept.

Very good school, safe and organized. The principal Mr. Miller is simply the best. He runs a very tight ship and you can see it very clearly. My kids are happy and have a very good education.

The teachers were VERY ineffective. I remember coming home in tears because of the bullying I went through in which not even the principal helped me with. Other than that, the teachers didn't offer much support with the material.

My son started kindergarten this year at LBES. We have been impressed by the academic rigor, activities and diversity. Our son loves school and is always educating us on things he is learning at school! We are very glad about our decision to move to this school district.

I am not impressed. My 2 daughters started this year, one in kindergarten and the other in 4th grade. I heard good things about this school and expected a great education. It seems like the kids get promoted no matter what quality work they do. The teachers are not allowed to "Offend the children's self-esteem"? This is ridiculous. What happened to teachers that actually teach? If a child does not understand the material, let him/her or the parent know. Do not give a passing grade to a 10 year old when a 5 year old can point out what is wrong. I understand that teachers want parents to be more involved but with both of us working full time I think the teachers should step up and earn their paycheck. If this is the future of our public education system I will be homeschooling next year.

We have one son who has been at Little Bennett from 1st through 4th grades and another one entering 1st grade this coming fall. The school has been one of the few things that actually work well in Clarksburg Town Center. The principal is very serious and dedicated, as are the teachers. Any inquiry we have had has been answered promptly and the quality of education is outstanding.

The School is EXELENT. The staff are nice to my child, my child never got bullyed, and is always excited to go back to school. The principal is strong in leadership, and the school is clean, so if you are looking for an elementary school that is up to your standards, then stop looking. What you have been searching for is found.

LBES is an incredible school. I have moved around the country multiple times, have had my children in 4 different elementary schools, Little Bennett by far is the best! Incredible committed teachers, great principal in Mr. Miller and wonderful parent involvement. This school is a gem for the community of Clarksburg Town Center.

This will be my child's third year attending Little Bennett. While I agree with the parent that praises the school's ethnic diversity, what I have always had a problem with is the lack of diversity among the TEACHING staff. There is not one African-American teacher. The assistant principal and the PE teacher are Black though. But for this level of diversity, I have always been surprised that this school has no Black teachers.
