[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi PP- gentle reminder that our experience was not the LAMB of 2025, it was the LAMB of 2012-2020. At that time, the school was more economically diverse so more than 25% of its population was at risk during the time our child attended LAMB.

Also, Maria Montessori created her educational system to serve disabled and impoverished children who were struggling with social and emotional issues. https://montessorifortoday.com/why-did-maria-montessori-create-the-montessori-method/

Somehow, in the U.S., the method became co-opted by the affluent families in mostly private schools as a status symbol.  LAMB’s original mission was to serve the low income Latin American community of DC where the original school resided. I have heard from current families that the school does not seem to have as many children from the LA community which is probably due to the changing demographics of the city. I am grateful that the lottery does allow the opportunity for all DC kids, regardless of their income and geography to have a chance to experience the benefits of Montessori in a public school environment.[/quote]

LAMB was never over 25% economically disadvantaged. 12% in 2014-2015 according to the OSSE audit.[/quote]
