Longfellow Elementary School

Posted October 22, 2009

My daughter has gone to Longfellow for 2 years. We moved from Seattle and I was very concerned about the quality, as our school in Washington was amazing. I am overall very impressed with the teachers that she has had, and very impressed with the education. This is a great school that really tries to serve the students. However, I do agree with other posts that that bullying from other students seems to be higher than average at this school. I don t know what the school can do to control these bad seeds, but there are some students that cause problems and it doesn t seem like the school does anything about it.

It is probably the most racially and economically diverse school in the district, yet it is consistently in the top 2-3 in terms of academic success as measured on standardized tests. This school does more with less than any other school I know.

We moved from Massachusetts into Oak Park's Longfellow school when our son was entering 2nd grade. He is now entering 5th grade. We have had such a wonderful experience at the school. Great teachers and community. The children are held to high standards across the board. We've had two situations in which we sought out the principal, Ms. Dolezal. She was great in both cases and I feel she is doing an excellent job. I love the 'extras' that are offered to the students from Hubbard Street Dance program to the FLIP program, and all the additional enrichment activities. We lived in Newton, MA which has a reputation for wonderful schools, but our experience at Longfellow has topped Newton Public schools on all aspects. I can't say enough wonderful things abut Longfellow!
