Longfields Elementary School has been a wonderful place for both of my children. My son attended from 3rd through 5th grade in the TAG (Talented and Gifted) program, and my daughter was there from kindergarten through 5th grade, later transitioning into the TAG program as well.One of the most outstanding aspects of Longfields is the principal’s dedication and personal connection with students. She is incredibly supportive and knows every child’s name, which creates a warm and welcoming environment that truly sets the tone for the whole school.The teachers are communicative, caring, and deeply committed to their students’ success. My children benefited from enriching educational trips and hands-on learning experiences that made school exciting and meaningful.Longfields Elementary is more than just a school. It’s a supportive community where students are known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We are so grateful for the strong foundation it provided for both of our children.

Looking forward to the promotion ceremony at Crossland on June 13th.

They need qualified teachers that respect children and parents.

I used to be a student who attended Samuel P. Massie Academy since kindergarten. When I was in the school, In my opinion at least I felt like it was progressively getting worse throughout the years. The fighting and the lack of communication between students and the administrative office or just with the office and how they treated my mother. I have since left the school and have moved on to better things. One of my close family members attends this school still while it is under a new principle and things from what I hear are okay but could be better. I don't try and don't want to down play the school because it has lots of benefits and has taught me great lessons that I know use in middle school. Sending your child here could be a 50/50 of greatness or of drama and a lot of other things. I thank this school for the things they have taught me in the past but I don't appreciate the drama, disrespect, bullying, fighting that has happened before.

Best educational decision I ever made for my children hands down. I am a Christian. This school shares my values and supports my children in ways that mirror my support and care at home. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.
