GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Benton is a nice little small town where everyone knows everyone. The teachers at Benton Area School District are awesome and really care about their students. The Benton Dam is fun to swim in. It's a quiet little town with lots of local food hot spots that people they and enjoy.

It is a small rural town. Close to larger towns but still far enough away. People are very friendly and helpful. Lots of outdoor activities- hiking, fishing, boating, and biking to name a few. Local community center with classes for everyone.
