Who said they were?

Both Kilmer and Longfellow are currently rated "10s" on GS.  This is partially a reflection of the fact that both schools have large AAP centers with kids who score well on standardized tests.  In terms of "stars," Longfellow currently gets four and Kilmer three.  These are based on the subjective ratings of people who voluntarily decide to rate the schools.  More people have rated Kilmer (22) than Longfellow (7), and the main reason Kilmer seems to get a lower rating is that some parents don't particularly like the Kilmer administration and front office staff.  I've had kids at both schools and did think Longfellow was run better than Kilmer (better principal, more frequent communications with parents and, yes, a friendlier front-office staff).  On the other hand, I thought Kilmer parents were more friendly and relaxed than those at Longfellow, and that's not something that GS tries to capture.

Returning now entirely to the thread topic, I hope the parents at the new LR AAP center have a great experience there.   [/quote]
