BROADWATER SCHOOL

Broadwater School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Helena Elem school district, located in Helena, MT with about 253 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, Broadwater School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Broadwater School, located at 900 Hollins Street in Helena, Montana, is a long-standing fixture in the local educational community. As part of the Helena Public Schools district, the school serves as a foundational learning environment for elementary-aged students. Its location in a residential area of Helena reflects its role as a neighborhood-centric institution, designed to foster a close-knit academic community where local families can engage with their children’s early development.

The school is well-regarded for its commitment to the core academic and social development of its students within the Helena public education framework. Like many schools in the district, Broadwater emphasizes a balanced curriculum that includes foundational subjects such as reading, mathematics, and science, while also promoting character education and extracurricular involvement. By maintaining a supportive atmosphere, Broadwater School aims to provide a stable, enriching environment that prepares young learners for their transition to middle school and beyond.
