I had the displeasure of attending this school from kindergarten all the way up until 8th grade, when I finally graduated. For starters, a good portion of the teachers are incapable of doing their jobs; a lot of them are unreasonably strict or straight-up petty. One of my best examples of this petti
Posted by a community member on 7/20/2026I attended St. Helen and now my children attend. They have very competitive academics and rigorous standards. My kids are clearly learning more than they would in public school. I love the small class sizes. The teachers really care about student success. They have a school counselor and therapist w
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2026As a parent I am so appreciative to the staff and community at St Helen’s. It is a very welcoming community and my children are challenged not only academic (I of my children had the opportunity to do Math class at the local high school as an 8th grader for high school credit)! But social-emotionall
Posted by a parent on 5/1/2025In this school teachers are very hit or miss, some are fine while others are just out right terrible. In my experience as a student I have had many problems with my teachers. But instead of them trying to handle it and ask me what was wrong the just straight up bully me. Also the added factor that t
Posted by a student on 4/1/2025I absolutely would not recommend St helen Catholic School to any parent who cares about their child education or self esteem. No consequence for bad teacher behavior. Very unprofessional Teachers sit at desk and expect students to be exceptional students but offer no help or guidance.Quick to discip

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers at this school seem wonderful. The school feels understaffed compared to the number of students it serves and the rooms are overcrowded. My child has almost thirty kids in their room, which is counterproductive to learning, considering the teachers do not have aides. So that is one teacher trying to teach 30 kids with a lot of different needs. They also only have one recess a day, which is 10 minutes long, and no playground equipment. Just a parking lot to play in. That is not enough time for play. Recess is also frequently taken away as punishment, so some kids don't really get to play. I get it's a Catholic school, but really? They're kids. They're going to make some mistakes and taking the only 10 minutes they have to relax seems harsh. I never really get to see work, just grades on the report card. Their is a ton of pressure on kids to test high on map test and lots of pressure for good test scores. My oldest child is in tears over the testing pressure. They handed out worksheets this year with their previous test scores on it to help the kids try and "beat" that score. It is a LOT of pressure. My guess is funding is tied to these scores? I'm not sure. Just a LOT of pressure on test scores and my child feels like a walking number.Overall- the school feels like it's less focused on child development and more focused on how many kids they can cram into a classroom and how high they can score on a test. I plan to pull my children and find a better school that is more child-focused.Parent Review1y ago - Creative World of Montessori Beavercreek
