School Overview

Longfellow Elementary sits in the heart of Whittier, a city with a strong sense of local pride and a tight-knit community feel that extends right into its schools. Performing solidly above the state midpoint in both English and Math, it's a good fit for families looking for a dependable neighborhood school where kids are known by name, not just by number. Whittier itself offers tree-lined streets, a charming historic downtown, and a slower suburban pace that many families find a refreshing alternative to the busier parts of Los Angeles County.
