Benton Harbor is located in southwest Michigan, on the shores of Lake Michigan next to its sister town, Saint Joseph. The Paw Paw River and Saint Joseph River runs through this beautiful port town. The Southwest Michigan Regional Airport is right in town, adding convenience for visitors and residents. Benton Harbor is known for its lively arts district. The city hosts a variety of events celebrating creativity. Every few months local galleries and business collaborate to host Art Hops, a free, family-friendly event. Master glassblowing and casting by taking classes at the non-profit studio Water Street Glassworks or applaud performers at the Mendel Center.
If you’re not an art aficionado, there is plenty of other awesome activities in Benton Harbor. View the dazzling shores of Lake Michigan as you spend a relaxing day on the green at the Golf Club at Harbor Shore. Take a beach day at Jean Klock Park, one of Benton Harbor’s 15 parks. Go beyond a traditional wine tasting at Vineyard 2121, a town favorite that hosts live concerts, festivals, weddings, art classes, and even kid-friendly events throughout the year. The city is filled with fun but if you’re looking for even more waterfront activities, Benton Harbor’s touristy twin, Saint Joseph, is only a 10-minute drive away.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
