I have found Bennion to be a really great school to go through Junior High in. Some of the great things about it are the teachers. I am personally friends with over half the teachers, even if I've never been in their class, and for those that I have, I've been able to learn a lot. I enjoy that Bennion has a GT (Gifted and Talented) program because I was in an accelerated program throughout elementary, and keeping that up has helped me to learn the most effectively. I don't like that there are some kids at my school that try to sneak into the restrooms during class to do drugs/vape etc., but there aren't many and the administration is pretty good about eliminating issues. All in all, Bennion is a very good school, and really, nothing's perfect anyway.

They aren't very considerate of health issues. They don't really seem to care that much for their students

His science teacher turns a blind eye to violence in the classroom - one student purposely does something to annoy a second student, who reacts by shoving the first student so hard his desk flips over. The teacher,...
