Porterdale Elementary School

You never know what people are going through and nobody In this school down to the special education bus drivers have no compassion for others.

While the school was fantastic in previous years, recent changes in faculty have left the school in a very poor state. The teachers are ill equipped and ill trained for managing a classroom. Teachers have been caught repeatedly insulting students, yelling at them, and my student is now afraid to go to school because of the teachers. Poor communication has been the norm, but even when meetings happen issues are not resolved. Learning support and feedback in the classroom have become sparse to non-existent. It's a shame to see what this one great school has become. For people familiar with the movie Matilda, what used to be Ms. Honeywell has become Ms. Trunchbull. Sparse classrooms, hostile teachers, with a focus on silent obedience over learning.

The school is a nice fun school, but the students that attend are horrible. It’s the students that ruin the school because they don’t behave well. Also the teachers and staff barely do anything about it. The kids there just do what they want and the worst punishment they get is suspension for two days. Most teachers are nice and good at their job except for a few.
