average, with a couple highlights and a few more lowlights. It's a typical large, overcrowded middle school with a sprinkling of a few effective teachers and a personable principal. Beautiful campus, has a nice amount of diversity, but not necessarily the resources to support the challenges that arise.

I go here, the teachers lose your homework, they know they lost it, but they don't admit it.

We had a rough first year at Korematsu and decided to find a safer alternative. Our bright and gentle child was verbally and physically harassed on a daily basis. I do believe the administration tries to manage the issues at hand, but the communication between staff, admin, and parents is poor at best. There are a few inspired teachers- but the head count is high, and often trouble goes unnoticed. P.E. is a nightmare.

I'm a 7th grade student, and I just started going to Portola. Even though we are in portables due to the construction of a new building in a different location and we are not Portola anymore, we are KOREMATSU!! The teachers are awesome and understanding, we have the best school librarian in the world along with our principal. it's a safe environment for everybody to learn
