Bensalem High School is a great school, from what i have heard of. I will go to ninth grade this fall, so I have not exactly been there yet. There are many different sports and extra curricular activities. The teachers are caring and want the best for the students. One thing I like the best is that they have a separate section for the ninth graders, called the Ninth Grade Academy. This will reduce the chances of u running into annoying older classmen :)
