Longfellow is the best school around! My kids have been in both private and public schools and because of our economic turn-down, I found myself looking for a public school. Dr. O'Neill sold me on the school and his leadership has made Longfellow the best school around. Have you ever seen a principal standing in the rain, or in the cold, or in the heat to welcome and say good bye to every child? The teachers do the same and my child has learned more this year than in any other year in school. We love our neighborhood school!
This is my children's third year attending Longfellow and it just keeps getting better and better. I wouldn't have them anywhere else. The Staff is awesome, and they actually care! They always go above and beyond regarding the education of the children. We also have a very involved PTA.
Longfellow is one the the best keep secrets in HISD. They have an outstanding program. The PTA program goes a step beyond to help both the parents and students to reach excellence! They also have a wonderful after school program with teacher's running the classrooms. If you want a well round program check it out. We have several student that have left there private schools to come to longfellow. It does fill up fast so if you are interested in having your child attend enroll them early!
This school is getting better every year! Thanks to the wonderful administration, Principal Dr. O'Neill & Vice Principal Ms. Barnes, all the wonderful teachers & dedicated staff. My earlier review in July 2006 that the school is great & the ratings would improve stands justified! The school is recognised for its academics. This school has the best Magnet program around. Special mention must be made of the hugely talented Orchestra Director, Ms. Mindy Snow who has taken the Orchestra to Superior level : last year they recieved superior ratings at Galveston Orchestra festival, NASA festival & HISD Elementary Orchestra Competition. This is a fabulous magnet school with Dance, Art, Band including Jazz Band (!), Theatre & Choir. What a great repetoire for our little artists. It now has a beautiful new school building (built 2007). There's an active PTA. Overall a great school !
