LONGVIEW

Longview is a Title I public high school that is part of the Wake County Schools school district, located in Raleigh, NC with about 49 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Longview has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Longview School, located at 318 N King Charles Rd in Raleigh, is a specialized alternative learning environment within the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS). Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, Longview is designed to serve students who may require a more structured, supportive, or focused academic setting to succeed. The school’s primary mission is to provide an educational pathway for students who have faced behavioral or academic challenges in a standard classroom, helping them develop the skills necessary to transition back to their base school or successfully complete their graduation requirements.

The program at Longview emphasizes a smaller, more personalized educational approach, often integrating behavioral support with rigorous academic curriculum. By focusing on social-emotional learning alongside core subject mastery, the school aims to help students overcome barriers to achievement and build a sense of personal responsibility. Through its partnership with the broader WCPSS district, Longview provides a critical intervention resource, ensuring that every student has access to an environment tailored to their individual needs to foster both personal and academic growth.
