Summary

Longfellow Elementary School is a K–5 school in Eastlake, Ohio, serving 432 students in the Willoughby-Eastlake City School District. In 2025–2026, it is rated 2 stars and ranked 947 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the 39th percentile. Its rank has mostly hovered in the lower-middle range over the past decade, with a high point of 52nd percentile and 3 stars in 2018–2019; more recently, it improved from 33rd percentile in 2022–2023 to 47th in 2024–2025 before slipping to 39th in 2025–2026.

Proficiency results are strongest in early grades and weaker in upper grades. Math 4 is a standout at 67.6%, above district and state and the highest among same-district peers. Math 3 and ELA 3 also exceed district and state. But ELA 4, ELA 5, Math 5, and Science 5 are below district and state; ELA 4 and ELA 5 are the lowest among same-district elementary peers, and fifth grade is a consistent weak point. Special education is the clearest equity concern: in 2025–2026, the school ranked in the 7th percentile with 0 stars for special education students, far below its overall 39th percentile. Low-income students, by contrast, ranked at or above the state median, with 53rd percentile in 2025–2026.

Chronic absenteeism was 19.5% in 2025–2026, down from 23.7% in 2022–2023 but up from 14.6% in 2021–2022. It is lower than the district’s 24.2% but higher than all four nearby same-district elementary peers: Royalview Elementary School 17.1%, Edison Elementary School 18.6%, Jefferson Elementary School 15.8%, and Grant Elementary School 17.1%. It is also much higher than nearby higher-performing schools such as Ridge Elementary School 6.7%, Bellflower Elementary School 5.0%, and Kirtland Elementary School 6.9%, though those schools serve far lower poverty populations. Its student-teacher ratio is 13.9, lower than same-district peers and many nearby schools, while its 2024–2025 free/reduced-price lunch rate is 60.88%, the highest among same-district elementary peers. Overall, strengths include early-grade math/ELA, smaller classes, and above-median results for low-income students; opportunities are upper-grade ELA/science/math, special education support, and reducing absenteeism.
