BHA tests students with the NWEA MAP battery of tests in the Fall, Winter and Spring to assess their placement and progress. Students in grades 3-10 will be given the ACT Aspire each spring.
ACT
High School students are required to take the ACT in order to graduate. It is recommended that Juniors take the ACT at least once during their Junior year, preferably in the spring and then if they are planning to attend college may retake it their Senior year.
Students may opt to take the test at a national testing center on the regular test date. Otherwise, if needed, they may request accommodations such as testing at BHA and extended time. The first step is to register online. Please refer to this website for more information about testing accommodations: http://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/services-for-examinees-with-disabilities.html
To request accommodations for an administration of the ACT, examinees must first:
1. Create an ACT web account, or log in to an existing account
2. Register for a test date – request accommodations if necessary
3. Return the ACTConsent-to-Release-Information form to BHA (bring into school or email to m.reynolds@bentonhallacademy.org)
4. Once an examinee has registered online for the ACT, ACT will automatically email instructions (with Subject: Requesting Accommodations on the ACT) regarding how to work with a qualified school official to request accommodations and submit supporting documentation via the Test Accessibility and Accommodations System (TAA). Forward the accommodation e-mail to m.reynolds@bentonhallacademy.org asap
Note: The basic fees for accommodated testing are the same.
For a better chance of having accommodations approved make sure that your child’s psychoeducational evaluation and any other paperwork on file at BHA is up to date (within 3 years).
There are three levels of Honor Roll announced at the end of each semester. The Headmaster’s List is composed of students with all A’s, the Dean’s List is composed of students with A’s and B’s, and the Honors List is composed of students with a B average without a D in any class. All graded courses factor into the Honor Roll calculation.

The student is the primary person responsible for his or her learning. All students at Benton Hall Academy have the ability to succeed and earn high grades.
Grades are based upon your effort in class, homework, class work, tests, and projects. Homework is necessary to reinforce concepts taught in the class and is a vital part of the education at Benton Hall Academy. Extra credit work will not be accepted until all required work is completed.
In order to receive ½ credit for a semester class, an overall grade average must be a 60 or above. Due dates for incomplete grades and assignments must be arranged with the teacher involved. If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to ask each teacher about the work missed and the date it is due.
