i attended this school and was bullied severely all of middle school, and what happened to the bullies? they got no consequences and were able to bully other students while staff know they are problem children it feels like they encourage the behavior. staff also clearly favor a certain race of students. i never felt safe to the point i had to sit out of gym class, and get my classes changed. i would never recommend this school to anyone due to the bullying and horrible food, yep thats right we got expired milk and another kid had gotten raw chicken. do better bennett middle and do better wicomico county.

My great granddaughter has been seriously attacked twice in the past few weeks. She has a concussion from being dragged by her head along the floor and slammed into lockers. In order to save her life, she can no longer attend this school. Yet the school is threatening her mother because her daughter isn't attending school. What is more important I ask you. My great granddaughter's life or school rules. This school should be shut down since it can't protect its students.

I just posted but I want to make reply about all the other reviews. I hear the teachers are great, the education is great, but the school is not. Now, I do understand that we have higher expectations than when before AC was available, however, I don't think not having AC makes a school horrible. I believe it would have been just as affective if they updated the heating and AC systems and built extra rooms onto the school, as spending a lot of extra money on this new building. I'm not saying it's not nice to get something "new" but to save money, we could have just updated a few things, added more wonderful caring teachers and classrooms to make smaller classroom settings. The student to teacher ratios just aren't true on this site. All of them around say something like 15-16 students, per teacher. I have never seen a classroom without less than 23 students per classroom and that can reach as high as 28 students. It's hard not to be distracted with that many students and for teachers to teach that many children, especially w ADHD and autism on the rise. Like I said, though, I love Bennett and all of It's teachers. I have only seen wonderful things from the school.

i think bms is okay. fights don't happen to often. if you have a child who might go there, i would look at other options although the education is excellent. the teachers are wonderful but the students are terrible. we don't have an air conditioner so it is miserable on hot days but don' jump to conclusions. it is an okay/good school.
