Welcome
      Benson West Elementary School is located at 6652 Maple Street in Omaha. Over 600 students are served in kindergarten through sixth grade. Students, staff, and parents work well together to provide an educationally enriching environment at Benson West. During the school year, families enjoy gathering at school for many activities such as the Math Rodeo, Reading Fair, Science Fair, and Family Fun Night. Several musical programs are performed throughout the year to showcase talented Benson West students. After school enrichment programs such as beginning foreign language, keyboarding, and science offer students an opportunity to learn beyond the classroom. A unique mentoring program involving adults from throughout the community is also available to give one-on-one academic assistance to selected students. Benson West is dedicated to helping each child develop the academic and social skills necessary to be all he or she can be.
