[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a first and third grader at LAMB and we will be moving this summer to be in bounds for a different school. This is partly motivated by the feeder pattern of the new school, but mostly because we have been unhappy with the academics in the lower elementary years. Our experience is entirely community (classroom) dependent - one child is having a strong/good academic experience, the other is not, and this is because of the teaching. The disadvantage of LAMB is that you are put in a community with the same teachers for 3 years. There's a lot of variance between the quality of teaching. If you're put in a "bad" classroom; you're stuck there for the entire 3 years. There's a lot we'll miss (community, mission, the Peace Ceremonies etc.) but it ultimately comes down to academics for us, and we desperately need a change. [/quote] We moved our child out of one community and into another that was a better fit. No shade as to your family’s choice, but the administration is open to such shifts. [/quote] The administration usually only does this for families who volunteer and donate a lot or threaten lawsuits. [/quote]
