Portola Junior/Senior High School

We don't have metal detectors. Everyone knows everyone else. Graduating class of less than 20.

I am a student at this high school. This school could be worse and it could be better. But over all I enjoy it. Our school has low test scores not due to the teachers but due to the students. The students are not willing to really think about what those test scores do to this school. The teachers are friendly and really care about their students.

I am a student now at this high school, all personal opinions aside, this school is hurting seriously for staffing, along with programs deminishing, more and more students have struggles with finding a schedule that suites them because of the lack of program offers. I would not recommend sending anyones children to this school. The teachers are definately lacking also, i came from another school my tenth grade year and was shocked to see that 'advanced' classes were doing what i did the prior year. They are lacking.

I am from this great school. My husband, our siblings and our children have or will also graduate from this great school. A well rounded program is available to all and the Performing Arts Program is flourishing beyond measure. With the addition of a guitar class this year, many students now have access to a program that has many features. There are many programs to choose from including extracurricular sports and accademics. Parents are always encouraged to become involved and there is always something that can be done.
