Bendle Public Schools is a public school district in Genesee County, Michigan. It serves part of Burton.
History Bendle Public Schools' original high school was built in 1928. Enrollment in the district doubled by 1929, and several older schools and temporary buildings in the district were used until a new addition began construction that year. The first class graduated in 1931.
On December 9, 2003, a consolidation vote for the three all Burton school districts took place with Atherton and Bentley voters in favor of consolidation and Bendle voters were not in favor.Report on Request for Consolidation of Atherton Community Schools and Bentley Community Schools
The current Bendle High School opened in fall 2008. The former high school, dedicated in 1955, then became the district's middle school. The former middle school at 4093 Barnes Avenue, T.L. Lamb Junior High, had been housed in the 1928 building. It closed and was torn down in 2011.
In January 2026, part of the roof of the middle school collapsed in the wrestling room. 6 weeks later, a wall collapsed in the same area where the roof had fallen.
