"Some Issues But Overall Good"
We've had a mixed experience at Helena Romanes. The school's values and ethos are great, and the facilities are impressive, but we've had some issues with communication and follow-through on certain matters. Overall, I think the school has a lot to offer, but there's room for improvement in a few areas.
