WONDERFUL!!!!! My kids love this school. Great teachers, staff, and the best principal in the world! Education is terrific, social aspects are good, and the building is incredible! I wish I was a student here. Definitely the BEST of the BEST!

This school is amazing. From the teachers to the location it is great. My son transfered to LFE at spring break this year and by May he was able to read an entire book, prior to transferring he was unable to read at all. Outstanding commitment from the teachers!!! I would recommend this school to everyone!

Longview Farm is an outstanding school! Faculty and staff really care about the children. They are forward thinking and progressive in their approach to education. The facility is top-notch. We couldn't ask for a better school for our children! Long live the Stallions!

The best of everything - location, structure, teachers, and principal. How often do students get to attend school in a preserved horse show barn on a historic farm surrounded by a county park while being minutes from a major city? It is a wonderful school.

This has got to be the greatest elementary school on earth! My son has been to a private school in the KC area, another Lees Summit public elementary school, and LFE when it opened, for fifth and sixth grades. This school has outstanding leadership in Dr. Rostine and has recruited many of the top teachers from around the district. It is also visually beautiful, off the main streets, and up to date with the latest technology. My son has enjoyed LFE immensely. Moral is incredible and everyone really seems to love being there.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
