Portal Elementary School

This school is fine if you don't want your child to be challenged in any way academically. We pulled our child from this school and enrolled her in private school rather than continue her education here. The teachers she had had no motivation to challenge a child and set the standards at level of the lowest acheiving child in the class in order to make results look good. Any child that worked above grade level is ignored and bored. In the 2 years that she went there, my daughter never took any tests (no weekly spelling tests, math tests, end of unit assessments), or had any homework even when we the parents requested it. The new principal acts bored when in meeting with parents regarding acheivement and is of no help.As a former teacher, I would not recommend this school to any parent.

Portal is a wonder elementary school, my daughter started the school here when it first opened 7 years ago. My son is coming to the school this fall, I am lucky to have wonderful teachers teach my kids. The school started with not many kids but I think it got a little over loaded. I hope the school notice it and do something about it too.
