The magnet program is okay, but the resident school is terrible. The academics are bad, almost all of the teachers suck, the staff couldn’t care less about the students, and the social aspect between students is really bad. However, they do offer a good after-school theatre program.

My experience at this school was ok. One of my favorite experiences was in 8th grade when we went to a field trip to knotts berry farm in honor of almost graduating. As we as in 7th grade when our principal would always put music in lunch and they would have dance offs and fun games. What makes this school very unique is the atmosphere it has in which everyone is welcoming when you come and dont make you the center of attention when you are new. As well as how everyone is always there for you when your in a ruff time. I would want to go back to school again here because its not only in the hometown i was born in but also because the teaching skills are one of a kind in a way that no other public school does. They push threw and make you go over what you ctually think your capable of.
This school from the years I went to it is pretty safe in many ways. For example the security guards are always nice but also have fast reflexes in case of an emergency or a fight that comes on. As well as the nurse is very nice and follows all the health rules necessary to keep the nursing room clean. For example she always has everything disinfected as well as doesnt give any medication unless with the authority of the parents or paramedics.

I’ve studied under mr.kashman and let me just tell you these teachers were absolutely amazing you should come to his school.

Mr.Marsh is so excellent he keeps our school safe and sound barely any problems and the staff is always extra nice.
Posted by a parent on 9/5/2013
Both my daughter and my son studied under Dr. Boucher. If it were not for him neither of my children would have been enrolled at Portola. I don’t think parents realize the opportunity their children are given with this teacher. He is there before school, after school, and on weekends! Some parents don’t want their child to have to work so hard or get homework on the first day of school. But hang in there parents! And watch how amazing it is to see your child transform into an intellectual. Pretty soon you will need a dictionary to look up some of the words that come up in conversation over dinner.) So don’t give up, get involved, and insure that your child reaches his/ her full potential.

The school has one superstar teacher who does his job better than anyone I have ever seen do their job–Dr. Boucher If you have a chance to get your child to learn Language Arts, reading, and history from him, do it! You will be amazed at how much your child will learn in the two years with him! The rest of the staff is quite good, but many of the kids outside of the great honors department that they have do not seem to want to learn. I fault parent involvement. The administration is reasonably good. Again, what stands out is one teacher and the honors department that he leads.
Posted by a parent on 7/17/2011
We brought our GATE daughter there from the GATE magnet school to study with Dr. Boucher, and we could not be more pleased! My daughter has spend one year learning from him, three periods a day. And she will learn from him next year in 8th grade. To us, getting our child to study with a professor like this is beyond great. And if that is not enough, the man is absolutely devoted to teaching and the kids he teaches! Oh, and the rest of the GATE staff is very good. We are more than pleased!

Amazing Thomas Paine is one of the best schools I ever went to. The moment where I made friends, teachers, and education which led and introduced me to my future. The BEST school. I would recommend coming here for education, entertainment (always something cool going on), and just good fun. I am now in middle school (disaster) and would really want to go back here!

We love this school. I felt my kids were in a caring, nurturing, and academic environment. The school is old and it shows, but it is well maintained. The teachers are organized and are true veterans of the profession. There are many ways to be involved at the school through the Parent association. The hard working association truly keeps this school functioning in the modern world with donations of computers, monitors for teaching, stipends for teacher supplies, equipment, facility upgrades and playground equipment. My kids loved this school from K-6.

We love VPE! The school staff and teachers are all very good. Each grade has fantastic teachers and parents never need to “settle” for mediocrity. The school buildings are really old and that’s about the only probem

I absolutely love Orange Grove! My daughter attended Kindergarten and her teacher was exceptional. There was always great communication between both the teacher and myself. She was always willing to answer all my questions and was always available. I do agree with the other parent. The kids there are not the best behaved and are bullies. My daughter is extremely shy and it didn’t help at all that they would make fun of her shoes or her hair. It was really hard for me as a parent, especially since these are things that my daughter has been thought not to do to others.
