I have just drop my daughter off. I walk in the office this was about two weeks ago. This lady was yelling at child asking the child. 'Do you know what annoying means? Do you know how to spell annoying? The child was just listening to her and holding the microphone in his hand. The Principal was there and did nothing about. In my opinion the lady should never speak to a child in that matter and the Prinicipal should never allow adult to speak to a child like that. That is degrading to a child. When I saw that I was disappointed in the Principal because I thought he was going to make a different in the school and in our children life by inspiring them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-06-28 “I am a parent of a 1st and 2nd grader at Longfellow. Yes, the school has had low scores, change does not happen overnight. However, I personally have witnessed dramatic changes within the administrative and academic area. The school is continually requesting parent involvement, which I believe is the key to a successful student. I work hard with my children, dedicating two hours per day to homework and reading. Thankfully, both are at the top of their class. In the 2006-2007 year, the school has held reading workshops for parents - giving tips on getting your children to read more. The Principal has held forums for parents to discuss problems/issues, which I might add, did address issues with his constant agitated attitude. Since that day, I have seen a dramatic change in his personality. Addressing issues will get you a long way.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-06-28 “I am a parent of a 2nd grader and 3rd grader. I am very happy with the quality of education my children are receiving at Longfellow. Both my children are doing very well in school. One of my children is in the GATE program. The teachers are very good and always willing to listen to any concerns you may have. I think a big part of it is parent participation. My son was once bullied at school. When I found out. I brought it to the attention of the principal and that stopped really quick. He had a parent conference with the other childs parents and it stopped. My children have never encountered those problems again. I only wish they had some kind of music program or sports programs for the kids.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-06-17 “Last year, we left this school due to a number of problems that did not improve over the four years our daughter attended Longfellow. Despite its high rating, the school did not provide a healthy environment for learning. The playground is a place where the strong and aggressive prevail; bullying is often unchecked. Furthermore (and this may have changed, as there is now a new principal), a toxic secrecy prevails in such matters as teacher assignment, testing for GATE (the 'gifted' program), and other opportunities. Even teachers were often clueless about what was going on or how to advise parents. I speak as the parent of a top student--a student whose scores now boost another school's statistics. I would not recommend this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-08 “My children attended a private school prior to going to Longfellow. I was extremely apprehensive fearing that the public school system would be markedly inferior in all areas in comparison to the private schooling that they received. I was wrong. The teachers that my children have @ Longfellow are far superior to those at the private institution. Academically they were advanced prior to switching to public school and I thought they would not be challenged, and become bored. Again untrue. But most of all the girls LOVED going to school all of a sudden. My 4th grader was no longer 'sick' every morning. For me that was more important than anything, I am certain the change from private to public was the right one and that is because of the team @ Longfellow.”
