Research Portage Central High School public Schools in Portage, Michigan

“Awesome School. One of the best in Michigan and in the top 1200 nationwide in Newsweek ratings. Offer programs second-to-none in this area. Has the IB program. Outstanding extra-curriculars. New facilities are being built in the next 4 years that will make it even better.”

“Your child is safe and secure when he or she enters this high school. The staff is wounderful and all know what they are doing”

“Communication with parents is poor. The only form of information sent home is through the newsletter. They do have a great website, however finding information quickly is difficult. PIV is a good idea, but teachers don't keep it updated and grades may not accurately reflect real-time. Parents are not notified of detentions until after they are served. Teachers are not very proactive. Counselors are excellent and really want to help students. A very frustrating experience so far.”

“I cannot say enough about this school. The staff is professional yet personable. Everything from their websites and newsletters to their curriculum and extra curricular activities are done with excellence. Opportunities for higher learning, college classes in the junior and senior year and State championships in band are some of my highlights of this school. The school counselors are effective in communicating with parents and steering students to achieve their academic requirements. I am glad to have my children attend this very fine school. - Olga”

“This is really a great school, excellent parent involvement in fundraisers and programs to help the students. All of the teachers are really high quality and give this school a great education. If I could suggest any school in Kalamazoo County it definitely would be this one.”
