[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that some people are (rightly!!) upset with the administration re: SD location moving and the bus situation, but can anyone speak to how it's been for their children? How are academics? Are your kids happy at LAMB? Are they learning? Are they enjoying school? What is teacher turnover like, etc? Thanks! [/quote]

I have a kid in Upper El (4/5) and another in Lower El (1/2/3) and we've had a very good experience.  We started at the SD campus where we were told as an admitted family (before even attending) that the SD campus was temporary and would close (we were actually told it would close sooner than it did).  We've seen some teacher turnover but each of my kids have had at least one teacher (sometimes two) that stayed through the entire Montessori cycle (meaning there was stability over the three-year cycle).  We've had experience with extra services that the school provides and have generally been pleased (we would have liked more, but in general found that it was helpful for our kid).  We've also been pleased with how happy the kids are (both in school and in the aftercare program).  One kid is quite advanced and the teachers have done a good job giving that child advanced lessons.

I'm not in the PTO and not particularly involved.  We've seen a lot in our time and our view is that there are very loud parents on both ends of the spectrum - who love and who hate the school.  I wouldn't put us on either end, but we've had a good experience and are glad we go to school there (though certainly have no illusions that it's perfect or anywhere close to it).[/quote]
