I am a former student who attended Helena high with an IEP. Whenever I sought support I was helped quickly and effectively, handmade to feel a part of the community. There are some bad students and bad teachers of course, but by and large this school is professional and well-run. I think a lot of that was Steve Thennis as principal, we loved him, so I don't know if it will stay as good when he graduates. Hope so. The biggest problem with this school was the facilities, they are old and not fit to serve a modern educational system. however, the school is being demolished and rebuilt soon, so I hope the outward shell of the school can be brought to match its inward quality.

We have been at this school two years now and we absolutely LOVE it! We have had teachers from 1st - 4th grades and we adore them all!! I have 2 children that go here and they both love the school and all the staff. Lona the Principal is great very kind and helpful, Nelly the front office lady is awesome and always knowledgeable, the music teacher is totally the best and does amazing holiday and end of the year programs. The teachers we've had so far have been phenomenal! Very willing to help, very caring, fun, open minded, creative, and excellent communication. My favorite thing is how welcoming and personalized they are as a whole, they all know me and know which kids are mine, they are really a great school. Also the parents are great very friendly and involved, everyone has everyone's phone number and I haven't had any drama yet. Love the school love the community two thumbs up!

I go here and I have two words: it sucks, last year I got bullied and the administration did nothing at all. Half of the stalls have no doors and no locks
