This was a good school for my child (K-1 in 2007-2008). He was a major minority (one of like 3 white kids in his class) and that was hard for him at times. He had good teachers and administration who tried to work through his hard times (from being too energetic to focus, to issues with being picked on, and even issues of bullying) with him. He often received up to an hour and a half of homework even in Kindergarten which required 80% parent supervision and assistance, this was a big burden on a busy family and it was a constant struggle to help him stay kept up.
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!
