"My children have flourished in this warm academic environment. With small class sizes and relatively few students, this idyllic campus engenders a space where most everyone knows one another. Teachers share information with each other about my children on a regular basis. I'm always impressed that a math teacher knows how my son did in a game, and how the English teacher knows how my daughter did in math. It's hard to fail with this type of support system and encouragement. I'm also delighted at the diversity. Portledge is far from a stereotypical prep school. You'll find no crested tweed jackets and spectacles here. Behind the ivy covered facade, this school is dynamic and alive. With a foot in the educations basics and another in technology, it is at once traditional, while cutting edge. I'm always grateful I made this choice for my two children."

"Beautiful campus hides a host of problems, from spoiled children to disconnected teachers, and a serious lack of organization."

"My children are so happy at Portledge! The faculty is excellent and they really care about each individual child. The graduating seniors are always so kind and well-spoken. I would never, ever consider putting my children anywhere else."

"I think that this school is excellent academically. The teachers really care for you and want you to succeed. Class sizes are about 15 kids, which provides a good small class environment. However, the grade sizes are very small, with an average of 30-35 kids per grade (in HIGH SCHOOL). The athletics are not very good at this school, with hockey being the only team that wins ANYTHING. Socially, the sitation is a mixed bag. Personally, I did not have a good experience SOCIALLY, but many kids who come here from public school do have a good experience. One of the great things about this school is that it is diverse. ALL of the other private schools in this area are not diverse at all, and are 95 percent white. I would definitely recommend this school for academics, as this is top notch, and I would recommend it also for people who are not having a good time at public school and want to find a great school with a beautiful campus."

"Great campus, gorgeous grounds. But the school lacks organization and it is difficult to get clear information. If you child is socially strong, he or she will fair well. But quiet, shy children will be eaten up here, and faculty and staff do little to help."
