Amazing school ! The best in gauteng.
Benoni high has an excellent reputation which is upheld by it's pupils and staff. This school is truly an outstanding high school that excels both on the field and in the classrooms.
Absolutely love this school !response / report this review -

This school doesn't allow serious Music pupils to attend their weekly lessons because Sports and other school activities trump anything else. If students do not comply they in turn get detention. Students should be allowed to choose and commit to their choice of extramural activities and not be bullied into activities they have little interest in and spending hours at school until late nights. The standards of Benoni High with regards to this is very low and borders on Marxist ideals.

As a former student I can tell you that this school is very arrogant. They focus on sports and extra murals rather than education and their organising skills are truly pathetic.

From the onset this school’s reputation precedes it but once you get here you become slightly let down. In terms of teachers there is a clear dichotomy here - there are the ones that teach, inspire, mentor and guide their students with artful skill and then there are those that fail to - in every aspect of the word - teach. Sport is prioritized at times over the actual education aspect - more correctly Rugby alone as most other sports (especially football) are neglected. The first team football team has no league, sponsored kit and soccer fest was even stopped while Rugby teams travel to Durban and wear kits with numbers and names emblazoned on them. The rules here are very oppressive. Forced haircuts on students who don’t meet the requirements of whichever teacher is doing the guesswork of what the hair rules are on that particular day. Blazers are to be worn in and out of school regardless of the situation or weather. Sports clothes are to be changed in and out of on time regardless of the whole school being serviced by only one functioning albeit festering bathroom at a time. Despite the “zero-tolerance” policy here drugs (cigarettes,alcohol etc.) are also in abundance and those without a fully developed self-control (being literally every child to step into the school) will at some point be exposed to them. The school does have its merits. Academically, individual students who make up for what some of their teachers lack in self-study and extra lessons with the better teachers and outside school perform well. There are a wide range of extra mural activities to help develop oneself and you can form bonds with people you never expected that will serve as your lifeline eventually. Will I miss this place - probably not. Will I miss some of the people at this place and what the school was and is supposed to represent - definitely. As someone who turned down a few scholarship offers to attend Benoni High I would say if you find yourself in my situation take the other scholarships. Otherwise Benoni High is your next best bet.
