I've had 3 kids go through the elementary and it was a very Positive experience. The school is clean and the staff took Special interest to my children.

My oldest son is in 5th grade and my youngest is in 2nd year Pre-K. We have amazing teachers here all the way through high school! So many activities to choose from for all kids. This is the first year middle school age kids could participate in Future Problem Solvers and they are going to State! Both of my boys have an IEP for speech and the speech therapists have been amazing! There are a lot of AP classes and vocational classes at the high school. To give you a small idea of what our school offers: football, boys/girls basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball, wrestling, bass fishing, band, choir, plays/musicals, Key club, History club, AP classes, Scholastic Bowl, Future Problem Solvers, Spanish, a great art program, building trades, Special Olympics activities, and the list goes on. Our staff is excellent and they have an open door policy. Very easy to talk to. Overall, a great place to send your kids.

PORTA Central is a positive environment for kids...top notch facilities, caring teachers & administration. The size of the school is ideal for offering students what they need to move on to Junior High.
