Summary

Longfellow School is an exceptional elementary school located in Bozeman, Montana, serving 289 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Bozeman Elementary District, which is ranked 108 out of 387 districts in the state, Longfellow consistently outperforms its district and the state of Montana in academic achievement.

Longfellow School's academic performance is truly impressive, with 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 61.84% for the Bozeman district and 43.09% for the state. In Mathematics, Longfellow had 40.99% proficiency, higher than the district's 48.68% and the state's 36.77%. The school also excelled in Science, with 77.36% proficiency, significantly above the district's 50.71% and the state's 38.16%. Longfellow has been ranked among the top 10 elementary schools in Montana for several years, reaching as high as 4th in 2021-2022, and has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

While Longfellow School's academic success is undoubtedly impressive, it is important to note that there are several other high-performing elementary schools in the Bozeman area, such as Morning Star School and Hawthorne School, which have also maintained 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and strong proficiency rates. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 2.2% to 18.69% in recent years, suggests that Longfellow may serve a more affluent student population compared to some of the nearby schools.
