Portola Middle School 

A hellhole that is separated into 4 groups: Autism (The academy), Asians (The magnet), Mexicans (general), and Persians (honors) with the occasional white or black sprinkled in.
I have severe depression and anxiety because I go to Portola Middle School

Portola High School 

A new high school in the bubble. Where all the rich Asians whine about getting 99% in AP Calc and where all the flat tube top wearing hoes take APUSH. Kids there think that they're getto and better than the rest of the kids in Irvine. Let's be fr, the worst thing they've done is probably puff once. I bet it was watermelon too. The freshman and sophomore guys ALWAYS go for the 7-8th grade girls that go to a neighboring middle school. That leaves the underclassmen thots all lonely, doesn't it? Don't worry, they have the seniors and the UCI boys to fuck wit. PHS thinks their football team is the shit, even though most games only the try-hard to fit in Asians and the middle schoolers show up. Everyones toxic and a girl losing her virginity is considered a felony at the school. The teachers are old farts that yell at you for saying ok boomer and the school is so unprotected that anyone could walk on campus at any given time and shoot the whole thing down. But hey this is Irvine we're talking about. Our curfew is 8:30 and the cops that do nothing but patrol the parks with their fucking rich poodles. If they see you out (like throwing away the garbage or sum shit) they finna take you down to the station. Back to PHS, the school is hell and its basically prison in high school form.
Chad: You go to Portola High School right?

Cheong: Hell yea! Our school is so swag I saw a freshman vaping!

Portola Valley 

Completely misinterpreted in the previous definitions. In Portola Valley people have money but they don't flaunt it. Sure they might have nice cars, but most people have Prius' or cars that are older than ten years old. There isn't a downtown, so residents have to go to other towns to buy food/clothing/anything else. Everyone knows everyone else and will help each other when needed. The public schools here are AMAZING, and not "dirty" as the other definition said. Most people send their kids to public school here and not private schools. It is a beautiful town with many things to offer and great people. People who live here have worked hard for their money and are usually involved in the tech industry. Because it is such a small town, gossip travels quickly, but that is the only negative part of Portola Valley. Whoever said that it is snobby has obviously never met the people of this town. Oh and by the way, no one calls it PV.
You live in Portola Valley?
Yep.
Are you rich?
Um why do you care?
