why bentley...Spotlight

"...everybody's friendly, like, they let you be you. The teachers really care for you. If you're having a bad day, there's always someone you can talk to--they make time for you. They treat each other and everybody with love."

I like the staff here--they actually, like, care about you. If you need anything, they help you. Something I like to do is go to the weight room and learn!

Bentley is more like family than other schools. Because it's so small, everybody knows each other. When I first got here, it was like everybody knew each other since like kindergarten, but then they just brought me in.

I really like the teachers because they're really nice here and most of the students are really nice. The classes aren't really easy but enough that we can learn.

I like Bentley because I like how it is organized and how they take care of your stuff--if there is any drama they fix it right then and there!

I like the teachers, the principals, the people! They are very nice.
