Benton High School offers students the opportunity to take four classes in the fall semester and four in the spring semester. This 4X4 block scheduling allows students more time to devote to course work, and it allows opportunities to select more classes. In addition to a list of academic and career/technical courses (pp. 3-42...3-43), Benton offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses in English IV and Calculus.

Honors classes are available in English (I,II,III), physical science, Biology I, Chemistry I, geometry, Algebra II, and American history. Classes are also offered in Biology II and Chemistry II. Benton High School also has an active United States Air Force JROTC program on campus led by one officer and two enlisted service personnel.

Currently, the average class size at BHS is 20.5 students based on class enrollment data from the second nine-weeks of the 2004 fall semester. The teacher-to-student ratio is 1:16; the counselor-to-student ratio is 1:309; the administrator-to-student ratio is 1:206; and the administrator-to-teacher ratio is 1:13.

School publications include a yearbook entitled Shere Khan, the BHS Student/Parent Handbook, an up-to-date website, Tiger Vision, and articles published weekly in the North Bossier Banner Post. Parents are contacted regularly by faculty members either through phone contacts, as each classroom is equipped with a phone, or through email, as the parish provides each classroom with internet access.
