Education

Primary and secondary education

Benton is home to Benton Grade School and Circle Middle School. The middle school is visible as one drives on the highway past K-254.

Circle Middle School

Circle Middle School is the home of the Thunderbolts. The school is a part of the Walnut Valley League (WVL). Students from Benton Grade School, Towanda Grade School, and Oil Hill Grade School attend this school in their seventh and eighth grades. After graduating, the students move onto Circle High School in Towanda.

Circle Middle School used to be a combination of Benton Grade School and Towanda Grade School, which, at the time, were both K-8 schools. Oil Hill Grade School bused their kids over to Towanda Grade School for classes. When the schools became too crowded due to the influx of jobs in nearby Wichita, El Dorado, and Andover, the school board voted to build a middle school in Benton.[citation needed] The project was completed by Summer 2002.[citation needed] Classes began in the fall. The first 8th grade class to go through the middle school graduated in 2007 from Circle High School.[citation needed]
