I go here and im part of the musical theater program and Academy here. Its a decent school, however the students are crazy. First of all, there are way too many fights to count. I dont understand how these kids try to be "gangster" by starting fights. Second of all, students are NOT accepting whatsoever (besides the academy). Students in the resident school will MOCK you if you have a slight difference. When i was in 6th grade and walking in the halls, a passing by me noticed my wandering eye and said "what the f". The kids here also bully kids with autism. Overall, the kids here aren't good at all. I would not suggest sending your kid to the RESIDENT SCHOOL if they have any differences that could get them bullied, however I would suggest sending them to the AIAT program. They might get called an "academy kid" (which is an insult), but its a really good program.

The teachers were great, and the school was clean! I wish there was more supervision in some parts of campus.

As an ex-member of the yearbook staff, I can honestly say that the experience was amazing because I was able to cover various activities that occurred in our school. I was able to witness all the things that go on in the school, and let me tell you, there's no way any student can run out of things to do at this school.

My son is finishing up his 8th grade year at Portola. He has been there since 6th grade. We have had a great overall experience all 3 years there. Some of the reasons why we love this school:1) Teachers and staff are experienced in their field, treat students and parents with respect and are very ap...

I believe in the importance of open and respectful dialogue, and I want to share my experience as a former teacher in a constructive way.During my time at Portola, I was passionate about my work and dedicated to supporting my students. However, as a teacher with autism, I sometimes felt there was a...

8th grade parent. My son went to Wilbur Elementary which we also loved and has been at Portola.He’s had a great experience, being in the middle school band, having taken a video production elective where he learned Adobe Premiere and Final Cut. His teachers have taken an interest in getting to know...
