Helena Elementary school has incredible group of teachers. They genuinely care about each student and their success. I appreciate the partnership we have formed to ensure my child and all children get the best education possible.
I have been amazed at how much my son progessed with his reading and math skills in his first year at HES. He is reading 1.5-2 grade levels ahead. Very involved parents.

HES has been the elementary home for all three of my young boys, and I have been more than pleased with the unconditional faculty support, quality of learning, high expectations, engaging surroundings, yummy school food and the overall positive attitude the teachers give to my boys. My children come home with secure smiles each day!
Helena Elementary is the best school because we have supportive parents, caring teachers, and amazing students.
Helena is a wonderful elementary school. All of the staff care deeply for the students. A fun, caring environment with good structure to inspire learning.
It is always difficult to send your kids away all day and HES has made that experience so much easier. They put the kids first and the teachers are fabulous. My kids have learned so much and feel comfortable being there. Both of my kids love HES and I'm proud to recommend this school to anyone.
As a grandmother, I love HES because the teachers are great with their students. They bring out the best in my grandchildren. The teacher encourage each child to be their best in whatever they do.
HES is such a wonderful place to work! The community is awesome and everyone is very supportive of our school. I wouldn't trade working with the wonderful faculty for anything!
This was our first year at school and Helena has been great! The transition from pre-K to 'big' school was easy and exciting for our son and us. Helena Elementary just feels like home! All the staff are so wonderful and very helpful. I am thrilled all my children will get to start their education at Helena!
It is a small community school with excellent teaching staff. It is very family centered. It gives all children the opportunity to be the best they can be
Everyone that works at HES is great. The teachers are very understanding and do a great job with each student.
Everyone is great. Small with excellent teaching. Everyone takes time to know all the kids. They individualize the lessons to the kids as well.
