The school has a room for improvement in its efficiency, effectiveness, and communication. We almost always find out of school events within a few days prior, if not a day prior to the events. What should be a five minute inquiry with the front office turns out to thirty minutes with no resolution. I believe most of the teachers are trying their best, but the inefficiency of the system keeps weighing them down.

My daughter has always had a great experience at Bennett. She had been there since 2ND grade and is now in the 4th. Three great years. Wonderful staff. Great educators. Safe environment. Updated curriculum. Awesome school.

Bennett Elementary is one of the 'old style' schools left in Broward County. It has a staff that cares. The family atmosphere from their wonderful Principal, Chirs Carney to the teachers and the support staff is heartwarming. They have been known as the Broward County Schools 'best kept secret'. THEY ARE THE WAY A NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL SHOULD BE!

The school my daughter attends is "Bennett Elementary" we love this school she has been attending since school year January 2010 when she entered kindergarten. The school made us feel very comfortable from day one u. Every teacher she has been a pleasure & according to my daughter "fun to learn". I would recommend any parent who has a choice were their child attends to contact Bennett. My daughter just entered 3rd grade & the school makes it very nice the 1st day we can meet the teacher & also take them to their class.The principle is always available to speak to and also very helpful when it comes to any after school functions the schools might be having movies..etc

My daughter has attended Bennett for 6 years and could not be happier. The teachers and administration greet their students by name in the halls. They deal with funding cuts creatively by sharing special area teachers between schools. The principal also shows respect for the contributions of his staff, encouraging and recognising them continually at school events.

Bennett Elementary School is truly Fort Lauderdale's best kept secret. Our son is very happy there. So are we.
