I went to this school, and it's so amazing. The teachers are so into the teaching and it's a great experience. The lessons are great, and EVMS really pushes for their students to grow and do great things, and to be kind, and as we always say to "be respectful, be responsible, and be ready". And that's something i will always remember. The kid's here are always respectable, and we have one of the greatest, if not the best music and sports programs (&coaches) out of all the Helena and East Helena schools. It's really amazing, and we soon want to build a highschool that will also be just as great for kids and their learning as this middle school!

The staff at EVMS really cares and involves the students and parents. This is a relatively new school and was built for growth, sports involvement, science and math. The students in 6 - 8 grades get lots of attention from that caring staff.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math and in grades 4, 8, and 10 in science. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
