Port A is an amazing school. the small school environment allows teachers to really connect and help students. The entire community backs the school and supports the students. I was very success at this school and most of the credit has to go to the environment I received my education in. Playing Lady Marlin basketball in the "Tank" was an unforgettable experience. I will never forget the crowd and my coaches.

The school itself is fine, the staff is very helpful, but the students can be awful. The surrounding community can also be very hectic. Not to mention, if you transfer in from another school it can be very difficult to inigrate yourself.

This school is located on a small island known for its alcohol and drug use. The kids here have no outlets other than hanging at the beach and partying. While its not the school's fault, this is not a great place for your kids.
