Helena High School

Wonderful school the best in helena as teachers and staff are amazing and kind caring to the kids and remember every face and even the parents names

I think this school has low test scores due to the neighborhood. They have a more challenging neighborhood than the other schools in the district. This was our first year at Bryant. I'm beyond impressed. Their staff is so loving. They work specifically hard with the children with special needs. My daughter has some medical problems that needed to be worked around at school. They have done absolutely everything they could to get her accommodations and make her feel confident and comfortable. I feel very confident that my daughtersister needs are being met. I'm very grateful for this school.

I moved to this district over 2 years ago from a very large one in Central Florida, my son was in 2nd grade and my other son was starting K. I have been very impressed with the quality of education my boys have had here at this school. My boys are now in 4th and 2nd grades, and I haven't had one complaint (other than parking issues). Maybe it's the small town vibe, but I love that my kids are known by their names by the office staff and even the principle. In Florida schools they are so many kids in one school unless your kids are the trouble makers none of the staff take the time to get to know the kids, it's all about the tests. Here it may be about the tests too, but I feel the kids get a better all-around quality education, with recess and field trips, things that our old district got rid of to be able to pass those FCAT's. Parents are very active and everyone takes pride in the fact that they are part of the Four Georgians Community!

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 have a daughter in 5th grade at Smith. She moved to Smith School from another elementary in Helena and has LOVED her two years with the staff and students. She has excelled in her academics and made long lasting friendships. The teachers and staff do their best to meet the needs of each student where they are at and encourage growth academically, socially, and behaviorally.In response to another review: - my daughter gets hot lunch every day and loves it. There are always meals that are not her favorite but she has never been given moldy or expired food. - the school is located next to the hospital, so ambulance sirens are frequent, but police car sirens are rarely heard. In fact, the police do their best not to have sirens on and are discreet so as not to alarm students at school.
