Portland is a small central Connecticut town, just a few minutes down the Connecticut River from Hartford. The town’s atmosphere is quintessential small-town Americana, with low crime, excellent public schools, and a quaint Main Street lined with locally-owned shops and cafes.
The numerous parks and extensive riverfront give residents plenty of options for outdoor fun—boating, fishing, and golf are quite popular pastimes in town, and several large nature preserves nearby are ripe for exploration. Right across the river sits Middletown and Wesleyan University, easily accessible via the Arrigoni Bridge. The close proximity to Hartford makes it an excellent option for commuters seeking a quieter home environment.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
