"Some Great Aspects, but Room for Improvement"

We have mixed feelings about Portsmouth High School. My daughter loves her classes and teachers, but we're a bit disappointed with the communication from the school. The facilities are excellent, and we appreciate the focus on girls' empowerment. However, we feel that the school could be more organized and responsive to parents' concerns.
