[quote=Anonymous]I am not familiar with Kilmer, but had two kids at Longfellow in recent years. The school recognizes academic achievement and wishes to inspire kids to do well. As was mentioned above, Longfellow has a strong math program and within in an accelerated track where interested kids take advance geometry and algebra 2/trigonometry. Most of the these kids end up going to TJ. Although the school offers support (in the form of after-school academic competitions) for a small group of motivated kids (about 10% of the student population), the majority of Longfellow students are not put in a position, either directly or indirectly, to compete against each other. Simply put, the school does not have a competitive vibe for most kids. But, it is academically focuses and students are expectation to do well.[/quote]
