Longwood Elementary School

This school has large problems with race relations and violence from child to child. The principal is a figure head and only stays in the office. They do not have enough resources to deal with special ed needs so they spread these kids out and it impacts innocent children. Also problem children have no consequences.

Don't judge a school on test scores alone, this is a wonderful place with amazing teachers and staff, dedicated to the students. Longwood has a very diverse group of children, and a large transient student population due to rentals in the area. The test scores presented do not include any student who didn't attend school the previous year, or any student that is in the country for the first time, so the results presented are very limited, and, in my opinion, inaccurate. This is a special place, where kids are challenged academically, and learn about the beauty of every student.

My son was studying in this school. I feel the standard is poor. There is lot of partiality towards ethinicity. I dont see much challenge posed by the teacher to the students.

My son is a second grader and his teacher Mrs. Robyn Jamison is such a wonderful teacher who cares and strives to bring the best out of the kids. I can see such good progress with my kid for which all the credit goes to his teachers and the friendly school environment.

We found Longwood school to be a very poor quality school. It might be ok for regular students but for kids with challenges, it's a very poor school. The teacher quality can't be that great if the reading & math scores are so low, much lower than the closest school.

This is an excellent school with lot of potential. Teachers are great with kids and provide individual attention. My kids learned lot academically and socially. Parent involvement is very visible and community is also very friendly. Good gifted,music and art programs.

Longwood Elementary School is a wonderful school. All of the teachers are magnificent and they really care about the students. There is not a mediocre teacher at this school. They are all exemplary! The academics are superb (guided reading) and the test prep for the ISATS really helped my child.

Longwood School is a great school. My second child is moving on to Hill next year and my third child will be starting. Longwood has taught my children so much more than the ABCs of school. Longwood teaches respect, honor, diversity as well as good study habits. I have found most of the teachers were dedicated to helping my children become the best that they can be. We recently got a new principal here and she is a wonderful asset to our school.
