BENJAMIN SCHOOL is a Title I public school that is part of the BENJAMIN ISD school district, located in BENJAMIN, TX with about 110 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
