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.

This school is not for me. It is extremely overcrowded, the students are inconsiderate, and the teachers don't seem to care about the student's feelings. The education I have gotten has been poor, we are behind many other schools. On the flip side, there are some very good exploratory classes and the hallways are pretty clean.

There was an exceptional lack in athletic teams. We only had a dance team and a basket ball team. Every other team was academic-related.

The majority of the teachers are absolutely fantastic. I had three that rubbed me the wrong way. One was a little too close with the students, one was just an awful, boring teacher, and the other had no personality.

I have had two students go through Longfellow now. My second is in High School and Longfellow prepared him really well for AP and Honors classes, as well as helping him find the extracurriculars he was interested in due to the extensive afterschool program at Longfellow. My younger child is in 7th a...
