I have only visited this school during basketball seasons for about two years now…read more Overall, the school is pretty easy to find once you get to the main road. My only side eye is the ventilation while in the gym during game time. It is super stuffy. Especially the higher you sit up. So be mindful if you attend during this time. Basketball season usually takes place between Nov - Feb. Parking is pretty good. I have never had an issue. Basketball season is in progress right now and games usually take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Catch one, two or three to support local high school sports! Have fun and enjoy life :)

I'm thinking of being my kids to this school next year. I started going the church there and it's clean and the people there are so nice and supportive. I also get to learn more about God than other churches I used to go to. If your looking for a school or church for your family I suggest you do some research on Lighthouse Christian school/ Church to see if you like it.

From our first phone call to linking up via Zoom and eventually meeting Mr. Odom in person, it has always been such a positive experience. Our daughter has a very busy schedule which made it really hard to find a time for her driving lessons. Mr. Odom went above and beyond to get us on his schedule. Mr. Odom is a wonderful, patient and kind instructor. Our daughter grew to be a more confident driver and got a lot of helpful driving tips from Mr. Odom. We highly recommend Mr. Odom with Navigation Academy!

***Disclaimer: I am a homeschooling mom. Before this past year, I homeschooled all of my three…read moreboys. I am skeptical about public schools and have many issues about them. (I love and respect teachers!) When my youngest son said he wanted to go to school, I had misgivings. However, I decided to let him go. Honestly, I figured he would stay for a few weeks and then he would hate it. The school year is just about finished and he not only stayed for the whole year but he plans to go back for 5th grade. Named after the first African-American superintendent from Suffolk, Mack Benn Junior Elementary School opened back in 1998. Sadly, Mack Benn Junior drowned during a boat accident. Here are some pros and cons about the school: * The classrooms are small and too many students are crammed. The teachers do their best; speaking about teachers, my son's teacher is Mrs. Maskelony and she rocks! I was so pleased that my son had an awesome teacher for his first time. I also like the principal, David LeFevre. This was his first time at Mack Benn and I think he has been great. He is warm, caring, and attentive. * I am impressed about the gifted program called Quest. Compared to another school and gifted program for my middle son, Quest is much better. The students got to talk to an astronaut virtually and a video conference with Barbara Bush. * I didn't want to talk about the administrators (office staff) because I know it can be a hard job. However, many parents say some of the staff is rude and even my son said the same. When I asked him what he didn't like about the school, he said some administrators aren't very nice. I would rather have my son at home but I have been more impressed than I thought I would. My son has been happy there and that is what matters. I think Mack Benn Jr. is one of the best elementary schools in Suffolk but keep in mind that all of Suffolk schools are subpar.

I don't know how many reviews I can write to say how impressed I am with this school and all they…read moredo for their kids. The teachers and staff go beyond just classroom education to make sure that kids are learning after school by giving up their own off time. PROS: - Teachers are amazing and do their best to educate each child and meet them where they are. - Administrators and office staff get the short end of the stick having to deal with a myriad of personalities and still be expected to smile all the time but they somehow manage to do it. - Community engagement to help parents and students get extra help where needed. CONS: - These poor educators oftentimes have to drag parents in and coerce them into helping their kids with reading and math. The amount of coaxing that is done so that the kids can do well on tests is sad but the school does a good job of trying to entice both students and parents to study after school with their engagement nights. (not sure if this is really a con because it just shows the dedication and lengths these educators will go to for student success)
