Benchmark school is committed to helping bright students who learn differently, or have yet to reach their academic potential, develop the confidence, strategies, and knowledge to become lifelong learners, thinkers, and problem-solvers.

Follow-up data over the past 45 years demonstrates that benchmark graduates are successful in high school, college, and life. Graduates report that they are successful because benchmark helped them understand themselves as learners, approach tasks strategically, think flexibly, advocate for themselves, and take control of their own learning. At the heart of benchmark's success is an exceptional teaching staff comprised of knowledgeable and caring individuals who are deeply committed to the extensive professional development that is woven into the fabric of the school. This commitment to professional development supports the school's enduring dedication to innovation and excellence.
