Longfellow Elementary School

My son went through Longfellow K-​5 and my daughter is still there in 4^th grade. Every one of their teachers has been outstanding, and have provided my kids with a strong foundation for the next phase of their education, and for life. The principal, Ms Ingber, is a true professional who has that rare quality of seeing the big picture while still appreciating the details. She and her office staff know every student and parent by name, and the entire staff and faculty make it their business to do everything they can to get each child to reach their potential. The community is diverse in the best sense of the word — every day, families from all walks of life are on campus, working together for the school. Longfellow is our neighborhood school, and I feel fortunate that just blocks from our home, among their friends and neighbors, our kids could have the kind of educational experience I think every child deserves.

I attended here from 1977 — 1980 and when I graduated from 6^th grade it was the last year the principle had the In N Out burger van come to give our class all double double combos for lunch. And man was that a good time.

I attended the school 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th grade, 17 years ago. My brother attended the school since he was 3years old. My son’s dad also attended Longfellow over 22 years ago… we have a history with the school and love the teachers, staff, and PTA commitee.
