Longfellow Alternative High

Longfellow Alternative, located in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis, serves as a specialized educational setting within the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) district. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, it is designed to provide a flexible and supportive environment for students who may struggle in a conventional classroom setting. The program focuses on credit recovery, individualized learning pathways, and smaller class sizes, aiming to help students overcome academic or personal barriers to graduation.

The school emphasizes a student-centered approach, prioritizing social-emotional support alongside core academics to ensure that learners remain on track to earn their high school diplomas. By offering a different instructional pace and a more personalized atmosphere, Longfellow Alternative provides a critical safety net for the district, helping students who need extra guidance and focused attention reach their post-secondary goals.
