In my experience at Porters, the first thing that drew my attention to this school is the sense of community from everyone. All students from all grades are willing to invite you into their community and are super encouraging and interested in your passions. The teachers and staff are also super friendly and push you to do your best in all aspects of learning.

I am going into my sophomore year at Miss Porters and from what I can see, our community is tightly bonded like no other. All of the girls are really close and you get to know so many of your peers, no matter your grade. I would like to see the dining hall food slightly improved so they offer more protein options for athletes when a meal is not being served.

I attended Miss Porter’s and also sent my daughter there. My own experience could not have been more different to my daughter’s. If I could go back, I would not send her there. The academics are nearly laughable these days. Their reputation is such that their “advanced” courses were not even accepte...

I attended Miss Porter's and sent my daughter there. If she were starting high school now, I would not send her. The new academic calendar is ridiculous and academics have declined. No longer does the school offer Intermission which was one of the things that made Porter's special. The girls do not...

Miss Porters is an excellent school. The academics are strong. The classes run on trimesters which means the students get to work intensely at only several courses at a time which enriches the educational experience. The teachers and entire staff have been outstanding and very responsive. The girls...
