What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 75 students, Portland Youthbuilders is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

The student-teacher ratio at Portland Youthbuilders is 25:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.

As a private school, Portland Youthbuilders operates independently from the local public school district.
