My son just finished 5th grade at this school. I took the time to have him transferred to this school in Kindergarten because of the 50/50 dual language program it was supposed to offer. Needless to say my son finished all 6 years there and is no better off with his Spanish than he was when he started. Sure, I teach him at home but I wanted him to learn proper Spanish grammar which didn't happen. Out of all the years he was at the school, only his 1st and 5th grade teachers focused on teaching the 50/50 curriculum. The gifted teacher did not speak Spanish at all. The principal only focused on test scores. It just seemed that the school went downhill from there. I can honestly say that in my opinion and based on my experience, 99% of the teachers at Longfellow Elementary are not there for the students. It has been a very disappointing experience.
