Longfellow Middle School 215 North Ponca Avenue, Norman, OK 73071

"I spent some time here last year during the summer school program, and that's how I'll be reviewing this school. The school is pretty large, so there were no issues with overcrowding like I've had with other schools I've attended, and teachers gave the students more leeway than usual in terms of being on time to class. When I was taking Algebra here, the 1st semester went very smoothly. A understood practically everything and did't get cold feet on the final. However, the second semester of summer school for me was a mess. The teacher had literally no control over her class and the students there were harming my learning environment. And when the teacher was teaching, she was basically speaking another language, (She was a very very incompetent teacher) She could barely explain how anything worked, and because of this, when I returned to school I had to completely review the 2nd half of algebra since I didn't learn anything at all. My conclusion? Good school, bad community; definitely has potential to be better."

"Great school. Attended when I was growing up. Friends kids attend. Staff is very friendly"

"I wish I could give zero stars! There is people cursing and scream in the halls. The teachers get mad at you if you are late first hour even if your parents couldn't get you to school! Also, the teachers are horrible! The 8th grade boys are so rude to the 6th grades as well. They give us laptops and get angry if someone doesn't have wifi at home. They also have horrible inappropriate books in the library! Some of them aren't even suitable for adults, especially 11-14 year olds. They never give us enough time to go between classes so people are always late. They say use the bathroom between classes but when we do we are late and they get mad!Worst school ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"There's never ANY soap in the bathrooms. Probably one reason so many people are always sick. No way to wash our hands!"

"Wonderful counselors and teachers! Willingness to do the extra mile to help. Very compassionate nurse."
