8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is one of the most toxic environments you could send your child to for an education. This school does not have an anti-bullYing policy. So if your child has any special needs or is unique in anyway they will be bullied on a daily basis while the teachers look on. As far as the principal and the office staff are concerned they are of no help either. My neighbors son gets bullied daily due to his autism and his love for unique things. Nothing was done until he defended himself when one of the bullies took a swing at him. Now he is in trouble for defending himself cause he beat the bully up. So if the principal and teachers had taken the bullying more seriously this would never have happened. A child can't learn when they are being bullied on a daily basis. Its a darn shame this school is run this way.Parent Review4mo ago - Porter Elementary School
