  • Rating: 5 (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
  • I have had three children attend Porter, and they are very smart children who received a wonderful education there. All three went on to private high schools, and scored very well on SAT scores. Porter is a great school, with a close neighborhood appeal.
