Benbrook Middle-High School is a combined middle and high school in Benbrook, Texas. It is within the Fort Worth Independent School District. It is southeast of Westpark Elementary School and situated in a building on a plot of land.

History

It opened as Benbrook Middle School in August 2011; a 2007 bond paid for the $34 million facility. VLK Architects, Inc. served as the architect, AECOM was the program manager, and General Contractor Thomas S. Bryne was the builder. In 2014 the 9th grade class began operation and the school became a mixed middle and high school; this was the result of a 2013 ballot measure within the FWISD bond.
