My experience at this school with my daughter has been awesome and life changing. I would definitely recommend PHE for your child and oh, btw... Cookie is awesome to! I've talked to her many times in the front office over these last few years and she has always been helpful and accommodating.

-ParentMy son is now on his 3rd year at Portola and in the 6th grade. Our relocating from Tustin was based on finding a great school. We did!!! Beyond what I was searching for. The teachers are PHENOMENAL! My son was discouraged in school work, shy and did not like school before we moved here. Every year his new teacher is his new favorite teacher. They really know how to work with all types of children's personalities and levels of learning to bring out the best in them. It brings me to tears of relief and happiness to see my son come home from school and start on his projects and the ideas just turning in his head as he goes on and on about what he is doing in school. From coming from a school that was behind in education, he did not feel lost or overwhelmed here at all as they worked with him and made him feel comfortable in learning. He loves it and loves his school. This school does so much for the kids and feels like a giant family. They do so many things with the children and a variety of aspects of getting the kids to enjoy what they are learning. This school really takes time and effort into making sure the children have the best experiences in learning. My son loves school now and this is the main importance to me. Children need to enjoy learning and PHE makes sure that the kids are getting a great education along with keeping them motivated in school. I wish I knew of this school for before.

Portola Hills Elementary School is an amazing educational facility. It has some of the best teachers in the world and it's PTA involvement and membership is off the charts which enables us to have incredible, music, art and dance available to the children. The principal is above and beyond involved with the kids. He is always seen interacting with them and has been known to play his guitar at many assemblies. I love this school. Both of my children attend and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Last year was our first year there and we LOVE LOVE LOVE it there I have two older children in private school and I am telling you this school is just as good actually better. We were blessed enough to get Mrs. L for kindergarten and I /we could not have been any happier with all aspects of the school. Including the office staff, even the times I would forget to call my child in sick they would always call me to check in and they were never nasty always caring and kind! And as many times as I would forget I gave them every right to get a little snippy but they never did, bless there hearts! They have a tough job but they do it with heart and soul along with all the teachers and yard duty staff. Thank you Portola School we are looking forward to coming back this year! Oh and academically my son has grown by leaps and bounds, which has exceeded our expectations. We had every intention of moving him over to a private school but not now we will stay her all the way through 6th grade!
