Summary

Longfellow Elementary is a public school serving 312 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Pasco, an area where many families qualify for meal assistance; 91.03% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. The school has a relatively small enrollment and a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio, which may support more individualized attention. Its per-student spending was $19,560 in 2023–24, although spending levels are not a direct measure of school effectiveness.

Longfellow remains low-ranked statewide, placing 1,047th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, or at the 8th percentile, with a 0-star rating. However, this represents meaningful improvement from the approximately 1st–2nd percentile range in the previous three years. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 22.08% in English language arts, 25.00% in math, and 22.22% in science. Math is the clearest current strength: Longfellow was nearly identical to the Pasco School District average of 25.01% and outperformed nearby Emerson Elementary, Captain Gray STEM Elementary, Rowena Chess Elementary, Marie Curie STEM Elementary, Virgie Robinson Elementary, and Robert Frost Elementary. Only Mark Twain Elementary scored higher in math among the nearby schools listed.

ELA and science remain below district and state averages, so the recent gains are encouraging progress from a low base rather than evidence of consistently strong performance. Fifth-grade ELA was the strongest grade-level result at 31.82%, while fifth-grade math was a concern at 15.56%; third-grade math was much stronger at 32.26%. Longfellow also exceeded most nearby schools in science and had stronger ELA results than several local schools. Compared with Amistad Elementary School in the Kennewick School District, Longfellow had higher ELA and math proficiency despite Kennewick’s stronger district profile. The key questions for families are whether Longfellow can sustain its recent improvement, strengthen reading in grades 3 and 4, and address fifth-grade math.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, January 11, 2011

The staff and teachers at Longfellow Elementary are the most caring and competent individuals I know. As has been demonstrated over and over again, by mearly rating schools according to test scores alone you are not understanding what teachers do for their students in a low socio economic school, with second language learners at 97% and who's parents are first generation immigrants to the system itself. The staff and teachers are doing so much more than educating students. We are feeding them,clothing them, finding homes and shelters for them and teaching them to be good citizens when many of their parents are too buys working two jobs to put food on their tables. Understand the situation and we welcome your solutions, but we choose to teach, These are our children and our future. Not many teachers volunteer for the job. Close Quote
