The best part about Portage High School is the availability for everyone to get along in some way. There are plenty of clubs for an interest that suits you. I would change the protection of the school. People are crazy these days and for such a big school I feel 2 SRO's are not enough to cover the grounds

My overall time at Portage High School was not the best. I got made fun of, I felt like teachers didn't care about me, as well as the students and faculty. I was going through a rough time in my life, the only teacher who ever showed she cared about me was Mrs. Bowers. She helped me get better at school, and try my best.

The education is very half and half. It is either really good because the teacher is great, or it is really bad because the teacher is horrible. There really is not an in between. I really want to see better teachers. Especially ones who actually care about their job. I also feel like the teacher issue is because they are paid the least out of every teacher in the area. Otherwise, we have really good school spirit. The atmosphere is so diverse so everyone can find a place where they fit in.

Incompetent school board. Unqualified Superintendent. Low school rankings in test scores for all levels of education. Safety is a joke. Lots of drugs and sex in the bathrooms that the school doesn't report. There is no Portage Pride anymore.

School (mainly it’s students and some staff) is full of racism, homophobia, bullying, body shaming and so much more. It feels like a toxic environment. Some of the teachers are okay, but others are part of the problem when it comes to not doing anything about discrimination or bullying, instead igno...

Horrible, I was severely bullied for being underweight due to my stomach disease and all of the councilors put it off like it was no big deal and I should just "love myself no matter what they say" instead of putting forth the effort to stop the bullying in the first place. Now, when it comes to act...

It's a big school, so there are definitely all the problems that are usually present when you get a ton of teenagers together. However, the opportunities available at this school are fantastic. Athletics are great, but the opportunity for dual credit classes is phenomenal.
