R. A. Long High School is the oldest high school in Longview, opened in 1927 — three years after the city itself was incorporated. The school enrolls about 897 students in grades 9–12 within Longview Public Schools and competes in the WIAA Greater St. Helens 2A league.
R.A. Long offers Advanced Placement coursework, Project Lead The Way engineering, and a 26-sport WIAA athletics program. The school recently became the fifth Washington public high school validated as a National Demonstration School, a recognition for documented school-improvement practices. SBA proficiency results sit below state averages (about 22% math, 51% reading), but the school is recognized in PolarisList's Washington Harvard/Princeton/MIT placement rankings, and the Class of 2025 graduated June 7, 2025.
