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.

We love Portland Village School. When searching for a kindergarten for our daughter I randomly came across a Portland Village School advertisement video. It showed this soft rich approach to education that I was drawn to. I was interested in a tactile natural learning approach away from worksheets and computer games. I was interesting in the integration of art & music in daily lessons. From our first walk through the halls we knew it would be a good fit. The amazing work all the students produce from knitted hats to watercolor paintings to felted wool geodes. Our daughter thrived in the play-based kindergarten and delighted in outdoor play and making soup and bread with her class weekly. She's now in 7th grade and as the lessons get more challenging she's thriving in this beautiful place that gave her the developmentally appropriate space to learn. Even as a teenager she still loves school and we are lucky to have found this free public school option for her.

My first grader loves this school and absolutely adores their teacher. The teachers and SPED staff are a delight, and I truly enjoy seeing what my child is learning each and every day.

My kids started at PVS in Nov 2021 and are thriving there. Their teachers have been phenomenal, tailoring their approach to meet our children’s social, emotional, and academic needs. It is such a treat to see my kids enjoy learning again (since their interest waned during the pandemic). We are so gr...

We moved to Portland from another state about a year ago. All 3 our our children had been attending a public charter Waldorf school and they, as well as our family unit, had an amazing experience there. This school has been no different. The Waldorf method is unique in that it prioritizes community,...
