Question for current LAMB parents re: locations

[Anonymous]

Did you have a choice in which location your child attended? If so, outside of commute, how did you decide? Are there major differences in each location?

When we were offered the spot, they told us they had selected the spot closest to our house. We got the campus we wanted, so I didn't press the issue.

Ok...thanks PP. This makes sense. We are smack dab in the middle of both locations. We have not gotten an offer, but I'm hoping there will be some movement.

I do not think you will be given a choice. I was towards the bottom of the lucky 27 and was not given an option.

The people who I know who don't have siblings in the past couple of years have all been offered only the NE location, not the NW location.

Is there a difference in the campuses?

Also is the Perry St Campus permanent? Do they plan on moving the school?

Very big difference between campuses. Missouri Avenue is owned by LAMB; Perry space is leased and shared with 2 other schools (with divisions inside the building). Upper Elementary (grades 4-5) are all at Perry Street and this will remain the case for next year. Perry Street is a traditional school building - Missouri Avenue is older, with huge classrooms and more character/quirkiness.

Longer term LAMB has rights to a building at Walter Reed but moving there is a few years off, according to information the school distributed to parents in February.
