Summary

Longfellow Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 701 students in the Riverside Unified School District, located in a high-need community where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English (27%), math (18%), and science (8%) well below the district average and ranking in the bottom 15% of schools statewide. This performance is notably lower than many nearby schools, such as Magnolia Elementary and Pachappa Elementary, which serve less economically disadvantaged populations. However, comparisons show that demographics alone do not determine outcomes; Patricia Beatty Elementary, with similar challenges, achieves higher ratings, indicating school-specific practices are important.

Despite these overall struggles, there are some positive signs: chronic absenteeism has improved, and the school shows relative strength in supporting special education students and English learners. A concerning pattern is the sharp drop in math scores between 3rd and 5th grades, suggesting a key area for instructional focus. While per-student spending is comparable to other schools, the gap in results with higher-performing schools like the nearby REACH Leadership STEAM Academy highlights the ongoing work needed to improve student outcomes.
