The teachers here at Portage Central High are educated well however they do not care about failing students and students who appear to be struggling. I would have liked to see more involvement with students from teachers, the majority of them do not meet with students and do not seem to care if they are confused on a subject.

Overall, I am very happy to have attended this school. The opportunities and connections it allowed me to make truly helped me to grow as a person. Highly recommend to any student looking to transfer.
