Both of my kids attended Port Wentworth Elementary, 2015 through 2017. Full disclosure, I was kind of nervous about this school when I initially saw its scores. I have loved this school and we're moving now and I'm kind of sad to say goodbye. The staff was awesome. I didn't meet one faculty member that I didn't like. And the principal, Dr. Wright, is amazing. Every day you will see her walking the halls hugging students and saying good morning. And I saw plenty of opportunities for involvement and efforts towards student improvement. Not to mention recognition of improvement. Give Port Wentworth a chance! :)

There are SOME wonderful teachers at this school, however, they could use more training for special needs children. They constantly lose important paperwork. If you have a child with special needs especially, stay away from this school. I have multiple children at this school and fortunately they were blessed with wonderful teachers, the teachers can only work with what they have and it doesn't seem to be much. Some of the teachers look miserable, for me, that is worrisome. Happy teacher equals happy student. The worse part is, my child, who used to love school, now hates it and does not wish to return to this school, and I will not make them. On the other hand, some of their teachers deserve medals, because they work super hard for these children.

Run for the hills with this school. If there is any other opinion take it. If not just be glad it's over after 2nd grade.

One word: HORRIBLE! A few teachers need to find other jobs because they have no patience to teach in an over crowded classroom in a shady area. My son kept getting bullied and I kept sending notes to his teacher who in return yelled at him for all the notes. She laughs in his face when he is terrified of a flying moth. My son also gets yelled at by the after school tutoring teacher because she is frustrated at his progress. Principal offered no help, so I called the board of education and have my kids transferred to another school. After that I said good riddance and thank God no one is yelling at my son anymore!!
