Summary:
Longfellow School is an exceptional elementary school located in Bozeman, Montana, serving 298 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Bozeman Elementary District, which is ranked 25th out of 300 districts in the state, Longfellow consistently outperforms both the district and the state of Montana in academic performance.
Longfellow School's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high standardized test scores, with 68.63% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, 74.51% in Reading, and 67.86% in Science, compared to the Bozeman Elementary District scores of 57.21%, 64.75%, and 62.32%, respectively, and the state of Montana scores of 36.59%, 46.03%, and 37.03%. This consistent high performance has earned Longfellow a ranking of 7th out of 332 elementary schools in Montana, a testament to the school's commitment to academic achievement. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 89.93% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the diversity seen in some nearby schools, such as Hyalite Elementary and Irving School.
While Longfellow School's academic performance is exceptional, the nearby schools, such as Emily Dickinson School and Morning Star School, also demonstrate strong academic results, suggesting that the Bozeman Elementary District as a whole provides a high-quality education to its students. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Longfellow School, at $9,599 for the 2018-2019 school year, may contribute to the school's exceptional performance, though more information on the socioeconomic diversity of the student population would be needed to fully understand the school's context.
