Longfellow Elementary School

Every teacher I have come in contact with at WP has made me feel that they care for the children. However, when I come in contact with the assistant principal or people in the office, they assume you’re uneducated and aren’t willing to do what is necessary for your children. When my daughter was in 1st grade, the teacher decided not to return to the class and was gone for the rest of the year. Leaving the class with sub’s for the entire year. I along with other parents volunteered to help in the class and were told we had to leave, even though it was obvious the sub’s needed assistance. If I had known how easy it was to home school my child I would have pulled her out so fast, their heads would spin.

La peor experiencia que pudo vivir mi hijo, es una escuela que esta diseñada para la educación especial gran parte del alumnado tiene discapacidades, incluyendo mi hijo por esta razón yo estuve muy al pendiente de su avance sin embargo poco a poco me di cuenta de las deficiencias de la escuela, una de ellas y para mi la mas importante es la empatía que deben tener los maestros, asistentes, equipo de seguridad, incluyendo también al transporte escolar; la gran mayoría de ellos suelen gritarles horrible a los niños por decir poco, el bullying es masivo los niños pelean y no importa la edad, en el caso de mi hijo tuvo mas accidentes que en ninguna otra escuela que ha estado, y lo llamo accidentes por que así se me fueron reportados como ACCIDENTES cuando había marcas de dientes o uñas en el, y ni hablar de la comunicación con los maestros o la case manager obtendrás una respuesta en 1 mes si te va bien.

This school is TERRIBLE. Do not send your kids here. Teachers are immature. Kids are allowed to bully with little to no consequences. The students also lie on other students. After care workers are terrible, they will lie and pick with children. Teachers aren't equipped to be teachers. They have mold in the school and some of the lunch has mold in it. Kids shouldn't feel like this is all their worth because this is a private school. They're charging for an education when there's nothing special about what they are teaching. They penalize the whole class based off the wrong doing of one student. They have so many extras working there that shouldn't even be working with kids. They feel like they can talk to students however they want but when students respond they get in trouble. They send out certain people to make their school look good. They also put on an act when that's not their true character. The communication is terrible and they will even stop responding to you.

Terrible enviornment for kids to grow. Bullying is rampant in the school and has been for years. Teachers overlook aiding kids and snub their nose at them and some teachers seem to be more immature than some of the kids. The faculty have no sense of boundaries which imprints a very unhealthy expectation and understanding of how the real world works for your kids. Honestly i think public school is better than this place. Its overall a terrible experience and looking back on it I wouldve rather paid to not send my kids here. Keep in mind both me and my husband are highly educated (he has a PhD) and i have a masters. I could not think of a single redeemable quality for this school
