[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When LAMB last expanded, they exceeded their DCI seat allocation. They didn’t share this publicly.

Ask. [/quote]

This is my understanding as well. [/quote]

We are taking about maybe 3 students who will miss out. When you consider lambs attrition and the fact that they don’t replenish kids, and sibling preference to dci, it’s essentially guaranteed.

Also- lamb has 470 kids now. 600 and change kids is the max they can expand. For dci not to be guaranteed the school will have to expand beyond that.

After 2025 mundo kids need to lottery for feeder preference and I think get something like a 30% chance. [/quote]

No. I believe that the expansion to 600 already puts LAMB beyond the cap. [/quote]

And right now lamb has around 470. So there is a guarantee. [/quote]

That isn't how it works. LAMB and DCI have a legal agreement that says LAMB can send [b]up to X number of students per year to DCI[/b]. So what matters is the size of each grade level cohort, not the total Pk3-5th enrollment.

For 2017-18 LAMB has

83 students in PK3
79 for Pk4  
76 for K 
45 for 1st
55 for 2nd
48 for 3rd
43 for 4th
33 in 4th

So the question is whether the youngest, largest classes really have reserved slots at DCI. Given the way Diane Cottman operated, I would be asking to see the DCI-LAMB contract in writing if I were a LAMB parent.
