Portland Lutheran School

My daughter just finished her first year at Portland Lutheran and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are excellent, approachable, flexible, and dedicated. We were greeted with smiles every morning, and my daughter loved going to school each day. I was very happy with how the kids in the class were appropriately challenged and were able to progress at their own levels. We would highly recommend Portland Lutheran to any parent looking for a loving yet academically challenging, Christian environment for their children's education.

Portland Lutheran School was an excellent choice for our children. After researching private schools in the area and visiting several, we enrolled our two children. What a difference this school has made in their lives! My children actually enjoy school and are excited to learn. The teaching staff is very good and communicates well with us. We really feel like they are partnered with us in educating our children. Overall, we are very pleased and would highly recommend PLS.

We had heard wonderful things about PLS, and we enrolled our daughter quickly. However, this turned out to be a bad decision in our case. Her 2nd grade class had 27 students - we had been told the enrollment would be considerably less - and the facilities are literally falling down around them. The teacher was overly stressed and ineffective with no assistant to help, and a part time principal didn't help anything either. We'll be looking for a new school next fall.... not recommended.

Portland Lutheran was a great place for my son. It fit his personality and the kids were very well mannered. However, if your child has any learning problems, this might not be the place for you. They do not have any special groups for kids who are having a hard time. If you want to pay for a tutor, that is offered. When you are paying for school for your child, your pocket book gets empty quick. We had to move and find a public school. If your child is a strong student, this might be worth checking out. If not think again.
