We really need to put a delay on these broadcasts
—Miss Benitez on the school news in Rankings

Miss Benitez is the science teacher at Bridgeton Middle School. She is voiced by Rosa Salazar.

Biography[]

In "Requiem for a Wet Dream", she gets Coach Steve to help out at the science fair. She agrees to help him learn how to read. They start off with the alphabet and she tells him he's special. Steve asks how to spell love. They end it by saying they love each other. Before the beginning of the science fair, he proposes to her but she says no. She just wants to be friends to which Steve gladly accepts. She also tells Steve that he should probably go out with somebody who's more "like him" (retarded). Miss Benitez and Coach Steve are seen getting married shortly after in Andrew's imagination.

In "The Pornscape", Miss Benitez teaches the class about covalent bonds. Due to his addiction to porn, Andrew has a sexual fantasy about her in class. Miss Benitez chews him out for not paying attention and asks if he needs to be punished. Andrew misreads this and asks Miss Benitez out loud to spank his ass, which shocks and disturbs her and obviously, gets him in a lot of trouble.

In "Dark Side of the Boob", Miss Benitez is one of the supervisors for the lock in sleepover. She goes outside with her students and tells them to look at the star constellations. Later, she tries to break up a fight between Devin and Gina only to be knocked out cold by Steve's whiffle ball bat. She never wakes up.

In "Smooch or Share", Coach Steve showed The Shame Wizard a bathroom stall drawing he made of Miss Benitez's unconscious body.

In "Rankings", she introduces her class to a new student named Ali and when she explains her sexual orientation, Miss Benitez prompts her to stop talking, believing this to be an inappropriate conversation to have in class. Later when Jay interrupts the announcements to profanely come out as bisexual, she insists on putting a delay on the morning broadcasts.

In "A Very Special 9/11 Episode", Miss Benitez leads the school field trip to the 9/11 Memorial Museum and tells the kids to not do any "gummy arms". Matthew tries to get Coach Steve to tell her that 9/11 was an inside job but he ends up telling her that cats are an indoor pet.

In "No Nut November", Miss Benitez was seen teaching the class during Andrew's narration.

In "I Fucking Hate You", Miss Benitez showed up on the school news when Matthew reported on her new boyfriend, who has a ponytail. In class, Miss Benitez had to tell the students that none of them were allowed to ask questions about her boyfriend. When Jay came into the class, doing a magic trick for Lola, Miss Benitez sat back and smoked, interested in seeing where this was going. She was also instructed by Jay to unwrap her cigarette, to reveal a note from him to Lola, reading "Jay + Lola = House".

Appearance[]

Her normal outfit is a pink jacket, a light teal shirt, turquoise pants and pink shoes. She also wears a necklace.

Personality[]

Miss Benitez is one of the few level-headed characters in the series, never acting out of line or doing anything uncivil, which is rare for the faculty of Bridgeton Middle School. In fact, she denounces inappropriate behavior, as seen in "Rankings", when she tried to silence Ali when going in-depth with her description of her sexual orientation and later noting how they should put a delay on the school news broadcasts, after watching Jay come out as a bisexual on television. In "The Pornscape", Andrew shouted at her out loud, to spank his ass in front of the entire class, a sexual pass that Miss Benitez was reasonably disturbed and angered by.

Despite being quick to anger with her students, Miss Benitez is very patient with Coach Steve, as seen in episodes such as "Requiem for a Wet Dream" and "Dark Side of the Boob", where she listen to all of his obnoxious bullshit and didn't get mad once. This is because Miss Benitez understands that Coach Steve is a little bit "special" (as in "retarded"), so she can excuse his anti-social behavior.
