Summary

Longfellow Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 181 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 54 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longfellow Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.26% of Longfellow students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 43.65% in Albuquerque and 44.19% statewide. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 23.16% of Longfellow students were proficient or better, compared to 26.48% in Albuquerque and 26.81% statewide. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American students performing well but other subgroups, such as White students and Low Socioeconomic Status students, performing much lower.

Longfellow Elementary's high free and reduced lunch rate of 100% indicates that all of its students come from low-income families, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.7 to 11.2 students per teacher, which could be an opportunity to provide more individualized attention and support to students. Nearby schools, such as Monte Vista Elementary and Bandelier Elementary, have significantly higher test scores and statewide rankings, suggesting that Longfellow Elementary faces unique challenges that may be impacting student achievement.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, April 2, 2011

Longfellow is one of the best public schools in APS. The new principal is a dynamo - I can't say enough about his enthusiasm, visibility, availability to the parents, and genuine interest in the sucess and well-being of our kids. Parents love him, teachers love him, and the students treat him like a rock star. The best thing about this school is Principal Mr. U's mission to make this a COMMUNITY. He has tasked the PTO with getting as much family involvement as possible, and encorages relationships with neighborhood business as well. The quality of the teachers is great, the options for extra-curricular activities are varied, and the fine arts & dual language program 50/50 is very good as well. Close Quote
