Long's School was located near Scott's Ford in the southern part of Rockingham County. It was located near the present (1997) home of Mr. R. B. Alexander (Sunnyside Road). The schoolhouse had been built as a private (subscription) school prior to the Civil War and was incorporated into the public school system. Teachers known to have taught at Long's School were John Miller and Doc Wise. The school was closed in 1881 and was replaced by the Sunnyside School. The Sunnyside School is noted on Lake's 1885 Atlas of Rockingham County.
