[quote=Anonymous]Well, YMMV. For us, we entered Longfellow when it was in the middle of a big renovation and its enrollment was spiking, but everyone was incredibly friendly and the teachers were quite good. We'd come from another FCPS middle school where the building had recently been renovated and looked great, but the front-office staff was rude, the principal stayed behind a closed door dealing with her personal problems when she wasn't in the hallways yelling at kids not to have any physical contact with one another, and the teachers were uneven at best. We'd just assumed middle schools were stressful places until we moved to Longfellow, which was very well-run in comparison. I have to give Carole Kihm much of the credit for that, because it is a big school with kids all over the academic spectrum there, as well as a lot of demanding parents. I liked the other (more relaxed) parents at our prior school more, but the school itself just wasn't as good.[/quote]
