As a parent, I couldn't be more grateful for the education and christian mentorship that has been gifted to my child at First Lutheran in Benton. They treat the students as individuals and not just a number. The teachers and staff make a difference and really care for each student. I've checked out many other private schools in the area, and FLS impressed me the most because you can tell they care and want your child to excel academically and personally.

First Lutheran has been a life saver for my son. We made the decision to pull him from public school two and half months into first grade and moved him First Lutheran. Best decision ever. The smaller class sizes really did make all the difference in the world for him. He has so much more one on one time with his teachers which has improved his learning tremendously. He's now in second grade and we couldn't be happier! 10/10 recommend!
