"I’ve lived here for a couple of years.The neighborhood is has a residential and cozy feel and is close to downtown, public transportation and to several grocery stores. People are fairly friendly and there seem to be a mixture of people(older, young families,singles)here there are a few coffee shops, restaurants in walking distance. It’s close to Willamette street which has a great biking and walking trail with an awesome view."

"This is an awesome neighborhood to be conveniently located to i5, downtown, good food and classic Portland neighborhoods. The Max and bus stops are very close as well as parks and a library. Very dog and outdoor cat friendly. The corner stores can be kind of sketchy at night. Unfortunately you deal with prejudices and racial profiling all over Portland and this neighborhood is no exception. I’ve personally received direct heckling from a neighbor that has lived here a long time therefore felt it was within her rights to snoop through my vehicle and make false accusations. "

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have two kids at Beach and have had wonderful teachers along the way. We are in the dual language program and have seen incredible progress with our kids. They have lots of support for helping kids with their reading skills beyond just their teachers. There are tons of involved parents that truly care about the community.Parent Review1y ago20 Reviews - The Ivy School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePoor academics. My kids spent two years here doing nothing but waiting for the day to end. They told me they were bored. The school is not inclusive. They actively push out kids who require special education. They point fingers at parents of kids with special needs. They harm kids who need the most help. This should not even be a school. We spent four years trying to undo the trauma they caused to our family. What they did to my child caused life long trauma. Do not send your kid here.Parent Review6mo ago15 Reviews
