Douglas Benold Middle School

Posted September 29, 2004

Benold is a good school. They place a lot of emphasis on discipline, yet in a positive learning environment. My daughter attended Benold from 6th to 8th grade, and was very happy there. Sports offered are football for boys, Volleyball for girls, track and tennis for both. There is an opportunity to join band/orchestra along with private music lessons given at the school for a very reasonable fee. They have an active drama and vocal department as well. Both vocal and instrumental genres attend several competitions throughout the school year, both as a group and solo. This gives the kids experience in competition, and helps build their confidence. The teachers all all easily reachable, and very receptive to communication with the parents. Benold's goal is to create a safe, healthy, and happy environment conducive to learning for your child, and I think they are successful in doing that.

While the school is large and at capacity, it is, without a doubt, the best school in the district. The leadership provided by the principal, counselors and a good majority of the teachers is exceptional. Standards for academic achievement as well as disipline are high. Students know they are safe and truly cared for. The school building itself is sparkling clean and well maintained.
