Deadline for new families offered a spot was a few weeks back, I think April 7.

From what I understood as a new family, we had to enroll by April 28 and current families deadline is today, May 1

Yes.

We gave up a PK3 spot after being told point blank by an Assistant Principal on a tour that they were in the middle of closing a deal to relocate the whole school to a new, non-Walter Reed location starting in the 2018 school year. We were told they would be ready to announce it publicly "in weeks to months".

Trying to follow up with the administration to learn more about the issue was very difficult, and totally reinforced their reputation as being a good school with a"laid-back"/unresponsive administration incapable of running basic management tasks. There were several occasions where the school didn't even pick up the phone in the middle of the day, for example. If I was a parent who couldn't reach my child's school during a school day I would be very upset.

At first I was a bit skeptical of the critics of LAMB's response to the sex abuse at the school earlier this year, but based on my limited experience with them, I can totally believe that they handled it incompetently.

This child would be a 1st grader next year so not sure that helps you.

Anyone on the waitlist here from Lamb? We are in the mid-teens for PK4 and eager to get in. Nothing's changed on the site.

Reenrollment paperwork is due by May 31 for current families. So you might need to wait a little longer to see WL movement.
