- **4/5** — A good school with some areas for improvement: I have mixed feelings about Outwood Academy Portland. On one hand, the school has a wonderful atmosphere, and my child had some fantastic teachers. However, I felt that the school could do more to engage parents in the learning process and provide clearer communication about student progress. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for improvement. *(Mar 2021)*
