History:

North Bennington Graded School was established in 1870 and has served the village of North Bennington continuously for over 130 years. Originally serving a Kindergarten through High School population it became an elementary school with the opening of the Mount Anthony Union High School in the 1960's. The school was completely renovated in 1997 through1999 and now stands ready to serve the students of North Bennington for the foreseeable future! Second and third generation students are quite common and there are even some fifth generation N.B.G.S. presently enrolled. The school is strongly supported by the local community and is often referred to as the "Heart" of North Bennington. It serves a small geographical location and has a student population that has averaged 150 students over the past 10 years. There is no busing in the village and students walk, ride bicycles, or are parent driven to school. It is common to see many parents around and about the school on a daily basis.
