GreatSchools Rating
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.

I had many outstanding educators and peers but the school itself needs more resources. As you may know the school is k- 12 but only has one gym room.

My overall with longwood has been all over the place. I had my highs and my lows with being at the school. A couple of my highs has been making a bond with like a few teachers and being able to trust and feel comfortable to talk to some of the teachers. I also made a good connection with my friends I have now they be helping me get through my bad days.
