Helms Elementary School

La escuela es perfecta les recomiendo demasiado esta escuela ya que los profesores y maestras se aseguran de mantener ALOS estudiantes enfocados no son muy estrictos pero son muy divertidos.

This information is outdated. Burrus Elementary, now proudly rated a B+ school, is far from what it used to be. The culture has dramatically shifted, and the results are clear—STAAR scores are even stronger than last year, and students are thriving in a more focused, supportive environment.Under the steady and visionary leadership of Principal Williams, Burrus has made consistent year-over-year progress. The campus feels different—in the best way. Expectations are higher, relationships are stronger, and there’s a renewed sense of pride and purpose in every hallway and classroom.Burrus is no longer the school it once was. It’s a school on the rise—and it shows.

The school no longer supports Montessori methods as of January 2026. Students do HISD worksheets while sitting on the floor during so called Montessori time. Do not recommend as a magnet school anymore. It was good while it lasted.

The sense of community among students is great. And I really love that. I knock it down a star just because I feel teachers could be more engaged with parents on a one-on-one level to really hone in on how to make our kids flourish. I do understand that teachers are spread very thin, but I do feel like more attention to each student by means of the parents would help so much more. But it takes actually meeting with parents. We had a zoom session that was 15 minutes… and it seemed so forced for the teacher. No desire to connect with me, the parent. Again, this is my only gripe and teacher is still great to my little. All in all, it’s a wonderful school and I hope to keep my child here!

i was recently a student here and its not the best but i had an ok time. some teachers are pretty nice but the bathrooms are horrible. the playgrounds are nice though and they have dedicated sport areas
