RJ Longstreet Elementary School is a public k-5 school located in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Longstreet Elementary is a small school located on the beachside in
Daytona Beach. It is nestled in a beautiful suburban setting between the Halifax River and the Atlantic Ocean. The school encompasses a large geographic area serving students from Seabreeze Blvd. to Ponce Inlet.
Longstreet opened in 1954 and serves approximately 425 students. The student population has steadily declined over the past few years.
Longstreet is a Title I School with 74% of the students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. It has a minority population of 21%, English Speakers of Other languages (ESOL) population of 5%, and a mobility rate of 54% with a large homeless population.
A major renovation was completed in the fall of 2008 which included a new art/music wing, consistent outer facings on all wings, new windows, doors, cabinetry, and flooring. The school has a new computer lab. Each classroom has modern technology in the form of data projectors and audio enhancement.
This small school prides itself on being a community school. Longstreet
has been designated an "A" school as a part of the Florida School
Recognition Program for each of the last seven years. This year Longstreet Elementary is very proud to have made Adequate Yearly Progress for the first time. Longstreet has been recognized as a Five Star School for the last 8 years.
Part of the secret to the success of this wonderful school is the active
parent involvement. This involvement includes a very active PTA which
sponsors many events throughout the school year. These events include the Storybook Fall Carnival, Holiday Craft Night, International Heritage Festival, and Family Science & Math Nights.
