My kids and I have been part of Elysian since 2009. The staff, the scratch-made meal program, the…read morenew facility, and the Seven Habits program teaching life-long lessons makes it a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Parents are welcome to be involved and teachers are given the resources they need to educate. The middle school program is improving every year as more and more kids enter those grades. My son is now in high school and had no trouble transitioning after 7 years at Elysian.

Switching schools in the middle of the year was incredibly easy. All staff that I have come into…read morecontact with over the past year have been incredibly warm and have the whole student in mind. Homework is minimal allowing my children to have time to play and be kids after school. Conferences and open houses have well orchestrated and therefore highly effective. Elsyian's sports program continues to grow under a competent athletic director. The school is always super clean and my kids LOVE eating breakfast and lunch at school. Being new to Montana, my only negative comment about my fifth and six graders' education is the curriculum is far behind where we were in Louisiana. The school does their best to accommodate faster learners by pairing them up with upper grade teachers in the subjects they excel in.

This school district is a joke when it comes to academics and the teachers at the middle school…read more Our child is being picked on by certain teachers and is not getting any of the help promised and is now failing one of his best subjects. Instead of working with parents to make sure the children are getting all the help they need and deserve, they tell the parents what "they" think is best and the children continue to fail. The communication, or lack there of, is so bad that I had to call the superintendent just to get something done. I finally had to pull him out and put him in a private school in order to save his education. These people care more about their paycheck than they do about the kids. The school we just enrolled our son into has a lot of kids from Laurel for the exact same reason, not to mention the school failed academically 2 years in a row. I am highly disappointed and will never send any of my children to any school in this district again. Shame on them!

Worst school ever. It was decent until about 3rd grade. Maybe 4th. Then from 5th grade on, it was…read moreterrible. I'm thankful I didn't attend high school at this crappy place. And I feel sorry for anyone who wastes their money here. It doesn't even deserve one star. Save your money and if you're thinking about having your child attend, just don't. You will regret it but luckily, I won't be around to say, "I told you so." Plus you would be buying uniforms on top of regular clothes. Yep, uniforms are required all the time. Not worth it at all. If I could go back in time, I would never attend. I do not understand how or why people consider this to be a higher degree of education, compared to public schools. It just simply is not. I attended a public school halfway through 8th grade. I liked it so much better. I already knew private Catholic Schools were a mistake. I'd rather have gone to a public school, where I could have had just as great of an education, if not a better one.
