[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LAMB just crossed out through 59 on PK3. Zero cross-outs in PK4 or K. They must be backfilling all spots with PK3, which they can do with mixed age classrooms. Seems sketchy to me given that I believe their charter requires them to conduct a lottery that includes PK4 and K; maybe the fine print allows them to skirt around actually admitting any? [/quote]

We're going into PK4 (second year) and I have also wondered this. [/quote]

No charter schools are required to admit at every grade. LAMB agreed to conduct a lottery for those 3 grades backfill 'to the extent possible' (replacing a rising Pk4 vacancy with a new Pk4 student, etc). The question that no one here has insight into is how many (if any) rising Pk4 or rising K left. If LAMB is going to admit new students for those grades, they would only do so to the extent there are departures.

There are several other schools that run lotteries but never seem to admit people from older grades -- e.g. YY (admitted no one for K, 1 or 2 last year). [/quote]

I'm certain some students are leaving in those grades (entering PK4 and K). It wouldn't be zero. But they also seem to allow for larger numbers of PK3 than those grades, and in general a decreasing total at each grade level. This may be common in Montessori.[/quote]
