Summary

Longfellow Middle in San Antonio, TX, serves 597 students in grades 6-8 within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the bottom 18% of Texas, and over 91% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Longfellow presents a fascinating "two schools" dynamic. On one hand, proficiency in standard 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade math is critically low, often in the single digits. On the other hand, the school achieves exceptional results in Algebra I, with an 82.35% proficiency rate in 2025-2026—far exceeding both the district (42.23%) and state (54.03%). This "Algebra I paradox" is shared by its direct peer, Whittier Middle, which has nearly identical scores. However, a stark contrast emerges when comparing Longfellow to Agnes Cotton Academy, a K-8 school just 3.48 miles away with a similar demographic profile. Agnes Cotton ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide, while Longfellow ranks in the 8th percentile, suggesting that the continuity of a K-8 model may be a significant advantage.

Despite its overall low performance, Longfellow has notable strengths. It is a "bright spot" for Special Education students, ranking in the 39th percentile statewide for this subgroup in 2024-2025—a remarkable achievement for a school otherwise in the bottom 5th percentile. The school also maintains a consistently low dropout rate (0.9% in 2023-2024 vs. the district's 2.0%), showing it effectively keeps students engaged. Additionally, performance with African American students jumped to the 25th percentile in 2025-2026, a promising improvement from the 1st percentile the year prior. The school's future success likely depends on scaling the strategies used in its advanced math and special education programs to benefit the entire student body.
