Top Elementary schools in Minneapolis, United States

St.Helena is an amazing school! Staff members are welcoming to all the children. Staff members are in tune with what each child needs. The size of the classes are nice for the children not only to learn material but to know each friend/classmate. A couple of bonuses are the Spanish classes and extra physical education classes. We are so grateful for this gem of a school!

St. Helena has a wonderful community. You become friends with other parents through participating and volunteering in community and fundraising events. The school has small classes, so your children get the attention they need. Kids get to know and become friends with kids in other grades, which is really nice. My kids get a great education, with the added bonus of the Catholic faith being taught and practiced as well. The teachers are energetic and good at adapting to change. Uniforms make it easy for the kids to get dressed in the morning and there's no drama about what to wear! Tuition continues to be lower than any other Catholic school in the area. The Before and After School program is fun, convenient and affordable. The school has provided a safe environment for the kids this year and it's been so great for them to be attending school in-person. I can't thank the Principal, teachers and administration enough for all they've done this year to make the school safe and as normal as possible for the kids. We're thankful for this very special South Minneapolis school.

We continue to be very pleased with the education provided by the great teachers at St Helena. The staff is engaged in day to day events and clearly understands the needs of the students and families. All in all, well deserving of a 5 star rating.

We have been very happy with our experience at St Helena. The kids are getting a top-notch education in a small-school environment and the school has done a great job this year dealing with COVID.

My Daughter has attended preschool here and is now part of the Catholic School at St. Helena School. Our family has been so pleased with the way she has been treated and the education she is receiving. Her teachers have been so carrying and the staff has always been positive and helpful.

We love that it is Pre K-8th grade. There are small class sizes and a very caring community.

Small classes, hands on teachers and devoted parents. Great school for our son

St. Helena’s provides learning in a safe and welcoming environment.
