Love Portlock Primary! The teachers seem to really love what they do and support their students. They also communicate great with parents and keep us involved. Thank you for being amazing Portlock Primary. I know my child is safe there always!

My kids have been here since they were toddlers and we have had nothing but overwhelming positive experiences. I can’t recommend the school enough and every year they add more opportunities for the kids. It keeps getting better. The price tag is brutal but I can’t imagine sending them anywhere else.

If you want to send your children to the elementary side, the people are nurturing and consistently just. However, after the 5th grade, I would not recommend this school at all. Most of the adults are rigid, unChrist-like and disrespectful to parents. To be plain, they do not partner with parents in helping your child. Your child will be sanctioned without input from you and if you question their ways, they make it hard for your child to feel safe and succeed with a clear slate. Adults share your child's information with other teachers and admin smirks if your child gets written up, at least that's what my son witnessed with himself. I used to be an advocate for this school; however, my support of PCS has changed significantly after attending the middle school. I would suggest you have your child attend a school where they actually listen to the student, care about their progress and value communication with the parent to be restorative versus punitive. The middle school could be compared to reform school, not a Christian school. Pick another middle school.
