Longwood High School is a large school: 2,993 students. Size usually brings more course choices and activities than a smaller school can staff, but kids can also blend into the crowd. Ask how the school keeps students known and supported.
Longwood High School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
39% of students at Longwood High School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
