Don't send your child here. All they do is think about money. They actually let a teacher get away with talking to students inappropriately and now he's a teacher at another school. They make you feel bad for little things. Teachers kids are favorited and never get in trouble. JUST DONT TAKE YOUR CHILD THERE

Portage Christian School is a safe environment where students learn character as well as academics. Students who graduate from there are high achievers who go on to become productive members of society. No school is perfect, but at PCS students are not merely a number or seen as $$$ unlike many schools I know.

My experience at that school was quite challenging. I encountered some issues with certain teachers who seemed to show favoritism towards some students. Additionally, there was an incident when I was feeling unwell, but the school refused to notify my parents because I didn't have a fever so that ap...

Do not go to this school! They paint a pretty picture to get you through the door, then once you are in and you see the TRUTH they will hold your children “hostage” and you won’t be able to pull them out unless you pay the full year tuition. Pay attention to the agreement you have to sign when you e...
