Read what parents are saying about Portledge SchoolI switched from public school, I haven’t looked back. The teacher show a lot of support. If looking for a school Portledge is a great choice
Posted by a student on 12/7/2023I have twins who have attended this school from kindergarten through 12th grade. The faculty and administration is exceptional. Bar none. The culmination and dedication of their work to each and every student is unparalleled. The International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement program is outstanding. I have experienced first hand their immeasurable donation of time and energy, love and grit to our students and this school. Both of my children have been accepted into their first choice college (both listed within top 2023 US Colleges) and currently thriving at college as a Finance and Mathematical Economics major. Proof that Portledge is college preparatory for all their students. Most importantly, they are currently happy and thriving young adults with a bright future ahead. Nothing more important for us as parents to get this right.
Posted by a parent on 4/13/2023I can not express how terrible of an experience this was. If you are coming from a family of color I advise you to steer clear. Administration does nothing to address the institutional racism that is seemingly as old as the school itself. The kids are very spoiled and faculty often bully students who are struggling instead of helping. There are a few teachers who are gems, but for the most part, this school is very racist.
Posted by a parent on 5/30/2022I have three children enrolled in Portledge and we could not be more pleased with the experience in lower school and middle school. The class sizes are small so there is an advantageous teacher to student ratio. No child gets lost. I feel the teachers really know my children - their strengths, their growth opportunities - and give them the space and guidance to be their best selves. The communication between parents and teacher/s is excellent - the staff is very responsive, respectful and caring. The head of school and the staff navigated the pandemic with grace, always putting the students and their education and safety first. I believe my children are not only receiving an excellent education but are becoming responsible and kind global citizens.
Posted by a parent on 4/21/2022Our daughter was bullied terribly by students and the teacher in her class. We were told it wasn't happening but I could not shake the feeling something was wrong and pulled her out. Once she was old enough to articulate what had happened she told me that not only had the students bullied her but the teacher!! I was stunned. Our child was absolutely traumatized by this. Our concerns fell on deaf ears and I felt patronized.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is an amazing school. Class sizes are small at about 18 kids per class and my kids love it. The PTA is also amazing. The kids always have a ton to do, plus the school always encourages parent participation. This is a great school. I'm happy we moved to Oyster Bay.Parent Review1y ago - All Saints Regional Catholic School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a faculty member here for many years, and thought I would spend my entire career here. The insane amount of spending on administrative salaries and other perks -- homes for administrators, for example, and not just the Head of School-- and a move away from real Quaker testimonies, like legitimate community service projects, has driven many "true believer" faculty members out of the school in recent years. One administrator's friends are put in positions they have no business being in on a regular basis. Students learn to make sandwiches and paint rocks here as their service work, and there is zero discipline here -- in great part because of the nepotism that leads to unqualified people in many jobs. Lots of students with learning differences also not being served, so not much learning really goes on here anymore, either.Other Review5mo ago - The Green Vale School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur Family is very happy at the Green Vale School, we joined in 4th grade and Pre-k , its now been three years at school. We have found high academic standards, with the advantage of space and lots of green fields where the children can develop not only on the academically but also on their physical developmental age needs, and care and respect for nature. The school truly cares about the success of each child and they are open for communication with the parents at all times!Parent Review3y ago - Mill Neck Manor School for Deaf Child
