School is great, principal is very helpful when dealing with students and parents! If you notice any issues with student they actually resolve the issues. Both of my kids love going to the school and have never had any issues with other kids or staff.

Longfellow Elementary is a wonderful school. the staff is willing to go the extra mile to engage your child. My son is high energy and can get into trouble when bored. All of the teachers he has had are willing to work with that crazy energy in such a positive way that he enjoys going to school, for which I am greatful. The PTG group works hard to include all spectrums of familys for all school events and the kids have so much fun.
Thank you Longfellow! Keep up the great work!

I have had two children attending this school for the past three years and I am at my witts end! Longfellow has a problem with bullies and after a parent meeting they dont seem to care or know what to do. I had to bring my three year old to my kids recess time to ensure they weren't bullied! Also my son started second grade this year and had three teacher within the first month of school and although the first teacher wrote a letter home we didn't hear anything about what was going on from the school about the second or third teacher and when I asked all I got was an "I don't know. We are doing our best" what the heck?! Nobody seem to know what's going on and they certainly have the worst communication with parents! my last straw with this school is now when they closed their parking lot down to parents and hired parking patrol to ticket parents without warning! They didn't send out notice or warning until two weeks after parents were getting tickets! Then when I asked them why they didn't give warning or a parent letter at least to inform us that there would be absolutely no Parking around the school to pick up our children they told me to call someone else!

I was very impressed with the teacher my son had for kindergarten. She was very involved and he excelled quickly. She was also was very willing to answer any questions that I had. I also had interactions with the other kindergarten teachers and found them friendly. The principal was helpful with any issues that needed to be discussed with her also and she always took the time to say hi to me.

Do not send your child to this school they do not have a community environment and the things your child will be exposed to are unacceptable. My daughter found a syringe on the playground just for one example.

The teacher (s) that my daughter had are younger than me, or so it seemed (I'm 23). They did not send homework home because "a lot of parents don't participate" and my girl was bullied by a child who has seen no repercussion except being moved to the other side of the classroom. When I went in and talked about these concerns with her teachers, yes, two of them, they struggled to find answers and put my child on the spot about the bullying concerns, saying she needed to say something to them. Well, if she hadn't why would they have moved to to the other side of the class? They are impersonal and I would love to see their credentials... Oh wait, I can't. Hmmm. And since when did teachers lower their standards based on a lack of parental involvement from some? Where's the accountability?

My daughter LOVES school. So much so that she would darn near be in tears on Friday, not wanting to not be at school for the weekend. However, we recently moved to the North side of town... and switched schools. Now? She is starting to not like school, and looks forward to the weekend. She gets bullied, and after talking to teachers about it, she STILL gets bullied. The teachers here seem to have a "Oh, well, wadaya gonna do?" attitude and throw their hands up. I am sad over my daughter's drop in enthusiasm for school, and have already made plans to move her to another, she's only been here for a month. Sad, and I'm not going to waste another second pretending these people know how to treat students, both the good ones and the out of line.
