Longfellow is not overcrowded.

Longfellow is certainly overcrowded. They won't even let the kids take their backpacks to class due to the crowding.[/quote]

They won’t let the kids take their backpacks to class but there isn’t enough time to get to lockers between classes. The crowding situation in the stairwell is dangerous. [/quote]

My kids attended LFMS in 2015, 2016, 2018 and soon to be 2023.  The school was already crowded since 2016 and it is much worse now.  If you think it is bad at LFMS, it is a lot worse at McLean HS.[/quote]

Longfellow received an expansion around 2012 based on the assumption that 1/2 the AAP kids from Cooper would continue going there.

Then the AAP kids from the Langley pyramid got moved from both Kilmer and Longfellow to Cooper, and there was a later boundary change with Cooper.

As a result, the Longfellow has been trending down:

2022: 1243
2021: 1267
2020: 1336
2019: 1334
2018: 1319
2017: 1362
2016: 1346
2015: 1342
2014: 1393
2013: 1332

It still has a lot of kids, of course, because it has an excellent reputation and people are attracted to the pyramid. But it has fewer kids now than at any other time over the past decade. [/quote]
