[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori education is great, but Capitol Hill Montessori is not. Totally agree with PP.[b] Look at LAMB's test scores[/b]. The problem is not Montessori but the weak leadership at CHM@L. The school is a mess. Glad you're leaving PP. [/quote]

Capitol Hill Montessori Overall CAS Score: 64.88
LAMB Overall CAS Score: 76.15

[b]The difference is significant but not huge. 
[/b]
Also, does LAMB actually have any official Montessori recognition? Just because a school has the word Montessori in the title doesn't mean it actually follows Montessori methods.

Respectfully, that difference is [b][u]HUGE[/u][/b].  With a capital "H".  And with all due respect to the Montessori true believers, between official recognition and a track record of actually educating children, I'll take the latter. [/quote]

Agreed. LAMB is also a truly bilingual school so they will always have slightly lower test scores in English. Please look at the test scores of African American students- they're in the 80s. CHM@L has a relatively low FARMS rate but dismal scores.

Really no dog in this fight, but I'm disappointed that a school (CHM@L) that is only a few short blocks from me is such a mess. [/quote]
