Firstly, I don't even know what your first sentence means. "I've noticed"? Where did you notice this? "young professional"? huh? And the bolded are not the top charters.

Isn't LAMB one of the best schools in the city, charter, public, private or otherwise?

Yes, I’m curious what you think the top charters are

These threads are so dumb. Insecure charter families need to stroke their delicate collective egos by dumping on DCPS like neighborhood schools are some monolithic thing.

OP: the PARCC scores at almost all of the DC charters are low. Not sure if that's a consideration for you, but it was for me. Most of the "high income earners" your'e referring to send their kids private or live in neighborhoods with good public schools.

No, all of the WotP schools, plus some on Capital Hill, plus Kipp Schools are better.

Only if you're looking at raw scores. Look at equity reports and School Report Cards. Lamb (67%)>KIPP Heights (66%) >Brent (65%) > KIPP Quest (63%)

Yes and LAMB is unique- there is no bilingual Montessori in the area that approaches LAMB. It would be great if there were more quality schools like LAMB.

Yes and LAMB is unique- there is no bilingual Montessori in the area that approaches LAMB. It would be great if there were more quality schools like LAMB.

No, LAME is just ok. Plus, it’s administration harbors pedophiles for YEARS. A hard pass!

That administration is gone. And in their defense, they as not knowingly do anything. Currently lamb has a wonderful new executive director and some great new vice principals. If anything, it’s gotten better. No school is for anyone, and if you want to give LAMB a pass that’s fine. There are hundreds behind you who get it.

And they’re not a school that is driven by test scores- kids are genuinely learning, not just memorizing for the test.
