[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume any kid transferring out of lamb is doing so because it’s not working and they’re below grade level. People switching to Latin or basis is a different story. [/quote]

Why assume that? They may be transferring because the school isn’t rigorous enough for their above-grade-level child.[/quote]

LAMB parent here. I have never heard of anyone doing that. If people leave early, it's usually because the Spanish is too much or because their kid needs more structure or the family is leaving DC or they're going to Latin or BASIS. [/quote]

No one will tell you that the school you chose for your kids isn’t good enough for their kids.[/quote]

It's a relatively small community and people gossip. If it was actually happening, you'd hear it through the grapevine. You can also just look at the numbers. LAMB doesn't backfill so it was happening, it would be evident in the numbers. [/quote]

The school does lose students in upper EL. The 4th and 5th grade classes are smaller than other classes. If you lol at enrollment data there is 76 in 2nd, 72 in 3rd, 59 in 4th and 51 in 5th. That is starting at 80 in lower El. I doubt that many get into basis or Latin but obviously kids do leave. [/quote]
