What school district is Long Neck Elementary School part of?
As a retired teacher I have been lucky enough to mentor at Long Neck Elementary for the past few years. Although I do not live in the designated demographic area I was interested enough in their profile to look it up because I didn't know what to expect of the student body before I got there. I was glad to know I had explored that fact because I was more prepared for my mentoring task but I cannot tell you how much the school itself does not match its' demographic expectations. I found a school that like any other public school in America needs to be judged and graded on what it seems to have accomplished and what the students seem to have learned. I found a school that may have no equal in the state, never mind the country. I was a spoiled teacher before I retired. I taught in a private school which was a descendant of private schooling that professes higher standards than what is available for people not able to pay for any tuition. Long Neck's performance as a whole made me privy to the best of what public education is all about. The students are welcoming, disciplined, polite, and are helped to achieve no matter what their situation may be. The teacher's adapt to new challenges and have mastered so many of the old problems about schooling that I can honestly say I have never been in or associated with the wonderful atmosphere that I found at Long Neck. (I have taught in both elementary and high school and home schooling situations). Long Neck is truly blessed.
