Summary

Longfellow Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in Pasco, WA, serving 312 students within the Pasco School District, an area facing significant educational challenges across several of its neighborhood schools.

The school faces profound academic difficulties, consistently ranking in the bottom 1% of all Washington elementary schools, with fewer than 15% of students proficient in English and math. This low performance is part of a wider pattern, as Longfellow is in a cluster of chronically low-ranking schools in central Pasco including Emerson Elementary, Captain Gray STEM Elementary, and Rowena Chess Elementary. Interestingly, Longfellow operates with more resources than its neighbors, spending over $19,500 per student and maintaining a low 13-to-1 student-teacher ratio, yet these advantages have not translated into better academic outcomes.

Despite the overall struggles, the school has shown a relative strength in serving its English Language Learner students compared to other groups. Furthermore, the existence of higher-performing schools within the same district, like Virgie Robinson Elementary which serves a similarly high-poverty population, indicates that improved results are possible under similar circumstances. This suggests that solutions for Longfellow may require examining successful strategies from within the Pasco School District itself, alongside continued investment and community support.

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
