What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, May 22, 2023

We moved from out of state to Portland and researched schools before we came. We chose Cleveland because of the choir program and theater program. The website boasted 3 plays a year, etc. It was a bait and switch. We got there and the theater teacher was suspended for mysterious reasons and no productions only a substitute teacher that knew nothing about theater. After being an excellent student my daughter started to have problems with her work and started hanging out with a bad crowd (school does nothing about kids leaving grounds). This school only cares about kids who do well without effort. We spoke to guidance counselor at end of 9th because of slipping grades and she told us not to worry and suggested a private academic coach, who cost us $2000 and did not help! To make a long story short, this school grossly failed my child. After I insisted on an IEP, they were slightly interested, interested in getting her off of their books! They pushed us to go to the Community College program, which was not suited to her needs at all. There are some great teachers at this school, and some not so great but still very compassionate. The vice-principal (the principal was a revolving door when we were there) and counseling staff are the worst! The neighborhood is pretty awful also, if you are unfamiliar with Portland look at the setting the school is in - lots of camps and drug use across the street in the park and strip bars less than a block away. Do not send your impressionable sensitive child here! Close Quote
