We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It's been many years since I've attended Longwood so things may have changed, but I hated this school. Lots of bullying and teachers never do anything about it. They care more if you miss school than if you're being bullied.
