Long Elementary School is a public school serving children in the Crestwood area. As a proud National Blue Ribbon school, test scores are far above the state average and are just one way that students at Long Elementary showcase their academic excellence. Built in 1960, Long Elementary underwent renovations in 2013 when the school's Parent-Teacher Organization transformed Long’s outdoor courtyard into a colorful and inviting learning space. Adjacent to the school playground and blacktop, the improved outdoor space now features a shaded reading area, a chalkboard for classroom lessons, raised planter beds, a composter and a fish pond. The courtyard also functions as a tool to teach students about stewardship and sustainability. Long Elementary students and their parents have access to innovative educational software to engage with school administrators and staff. The school’s website offers a student learning management system and portal to check grades and assignments. With a beautiful facility and a strong school community, Long Elementary School is a great elementary school option in Crestwood.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

This school is very bad, especially the teachers. One time my son didn't get the math assignment that they where doing and the teacher ignored him when he asked for help. Then she blamed him for 'not practicing' even though he has done all of his practice work but jest needed some help. I do not know what is up with this school

The PTO is amazing. There are so many great parents who are resourceful and ensure the students needs are met. They go above and beyond with providing the teachers grants, handling parties, etc.

Every child is different and this school appreciates that sentiment. He went from reading below grade level with lots of interv...
