The question is really, why wouldn't you love LAMB? It's easily one of the best public elementaries in the city.

Depends on what you mean by low. There are still 28% economically disadvantaged students and 37% ELL.

Its not Janney -- more like Oyster in that regard only.

If LAMB and a common lottery school both enter your child into the DC-wide student database as a student, an error should surface. But you could be double enrolled for a time.

You also risk losing slots at both schools.

But this would get flagged until the summer. That's why it's really stupid that LAMB refuses to join the common lottery when every other bilingual charter has done so.

One Janney is enough.

I think if you're on the fence you'd be best served by your common lottery pick.

I'd rather have Spanish and Montessori and <30% FARMS than monolithic monolingual Janney! (Not a parent at either.)

My little kid really likes it. He has friends, he loves his teachers, the birthday ceremony was just beautiful, he is learning a ton. He's 5, and I like that he's so happy to go to school every day. That's why we like it.

Nobody has mentioned it yet but the aftercare program is excellent too and well worth the money.

OMG, the contract is classic:

Word salad wrote it!

"Children have the right to be recognized as subjects of individual, legal, civil, and social rights; as both source and
constructors of their own experience, and thus active participants in the organization of their identities, abilities, and
autonomy, through relationships and interaction with their peers, with adults, with ideas, with objects, and with real and
imaginary events of intercommunicating worlds."

I don't see anything wrong with it other than the sentences are long. It seems to have been translated from Spanish to English. It makes perfect sense in Spanish. You sound ridiculously ignorant.

Oyster is 22% economically disadvantaged.

Agreed. The use of the semi-colon alone disqualifies Word Salad (haven't noticed anything from her in a while) who probably think it's something you poop out of, anyway.

Why do people love LAMB so much? Certainly not for reasons like this: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/75/634286.page
