GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I had a wonderful time at George K Porter Middle School. I made all of my friends there and the teachers always prepared us for college, not so much high school. The teachers are aged and I think it shows because they dont put full effort into their lessons. Saftey is mediocre.

They do not follow IEPs as written for special needs students. The person in charge of the special education department does not respond to phone calls or emails about concerns. The facilities are also lacking.
