[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Tell me about Longfellow. My kid goes next year and I was alarmed to see a bully report button on their website. It seems naive to me since a clique could easily gang up on a target by claiming she or he is the bully and making a report. (I have worked with kids this age and these things do happen); Are they having significant bullying issues? if so, what have they done to address them besides a bully button on the website?[/quote]

The bully button is a joke. Kids are afraid to use it because of fear of retribution.  If your kid is academically strong they will fair better. Kids who need help or don't take honors level classes are looked down on and bullied.  If your kids has a weakness or is timid, they could be a target.  Some parents avoid Longfellow and put the kids who struggle academically into private school for junior high and then go on to Mclean HS (which is great). That is smart, otherwise these kids could have a terrible time at Longfellow.   [/quote]
