It is southeast of Westpark Elementary School and situated in a 175,600-square-foot (16,310 m2) building on a 31-acre (13 ha) plot of land.

[2] In 2007 there were plans to build a second middle school in Benbrook, and FWISD offered a bond referendum in which people could facilitate having the school built, something Jerry Dittrich, the mayor of Benrbook, advocated.

[3] James Schull, a then-current member of the city council, stated that if the district would show commitment to having the middle school built, he would support the bond.

[5] The opening of Benbrook Middle relieved nearby middle schools; this allowed FWISD to establish a plan to move an alternative school, Middle Level Learning Center, onto the Leonard 6th Grade Center property, which in turn allowed the Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences to occupy the ex-alternative school campus.

[citation needed] In 2013 there were plans to add a high school component, which Dittrich stated had a favorable reception among Benbrook residents.
