De Portola Elementary School Reviews

 
It is great I am a student there (Sarah Amundsen) and the teachers are great our princapal (Mr.Gabel) is excelent!!!!!!!!!! There are great students there that are smart and great to talk to it is soooooo much fun going there. I didn't want school to end but I guese the teachers need a break because they are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

Curriculem wise de Portola is a great school. Some of the teachers, such as Mrs. Ambellen, Mrs. Shafer and Mr. Pacak are truly superior educators. With a little bit of effort on the part of management de Portola could be a trully wonderful school.

My daughter loves her teacher! Mrs. Chrenow is a talented singer and she plays the guitar. She also enjoys going to school and TLC (before and after school care, conveniently located within the school compound), and has no complaints of any conflicts with teachers or students. Unfortunately, I have to work full time, which means I am not able to volunteer in the classroom. But there's a lot of parental involvement.

Fantastic teaching and administrative staff. I moved to Mission Viejo and felt 'embraced' by the community at dePortola. My two children have grown emotionally and intellectually. Everyday is a positive surprise for our family.

Great School! Very involved teachers who have constant communication with parents.

As a graduate of DePortola Elementary I can only say wonderful things about this school. The Staff and the parents are fabulous. My little sister now attends this school and will be graduating this year. I know that our whole family will be sad that we no longer have a student at this great school. We will miss it here.

If your child has a disability that is not physically apparent such as diabetes, I would be very leery about this school. My child has suffered from the school's leadership in this area. Make sure you request a Section 504/IEP assesment in writing before school year starts and make sure the administration addresses it in a timely fashion. From my experience, the administrators will try to delay the process and try to persuade you to not follow through with the assessment.

I think the biggest strength at de Portola is parent involvement. I have enjoyed my relationships with all the teachers and they genuinely care for the children. However, I do not agree with the policy widely used at de Portola which is to group the children and if a child in the group misbehaves the rest of the group gets penalized. I believe a child should be awarded or penalized for their individual behavior, otherwise the child resents the others in the group and may be discouraged of being good if they never receive recognition for it.
