You can look at data on where students come from and where they go, if you scroll down to the second display. For last year, it shows that 49 4th graders stayed at LAMB for 5th, others went to BASIS, Latin, and CMI. After 5th, only 18 matriculated to DCI (!), others to Truth, Paul, and out of the DC public school system.[/quote]

Yes this is absolutely accurate. But I’m talking about rising 4th and 5th graders. I know at least 16 kids who are leaving, [/quote]

From 3rd to 4th SY21-22 to 21-23 kids went from LAMB to:
LAMB (53)
Oyster (<10)
School Without Walls @SF (<10)
CMI (<10)

From 4th to 5th LAMB kids went to:
LAMB (49)
Latin (<10)
BASIS (<10)
CMI (<10)

After 5th at LAMB:
DCI (18)
Paul PCS (<10)
Sojourner (<10)

Sorry, typo in years (fixed above)[/quote]

My DC was one of the 18 5th graders in SY 21-22 that went to DCI in SY 22-23.  That was a very small class (not more than 22-24 total) but the great majority went on to DCI (only one went to Sojourner, for instance). But if I am reading this correctly, I can't actually tell how many of this particular class departed from year to year, right? I wish we could see that because comparing 4th to 5th departures is meaningless to use as a measure of the quality of LAMB.  We do know that for the class behind, 4th-5th, <10 went each to Latin, Basis & CMI.  As PP stated this is (almost) entirely families who don't want to move on to DCI, and this is the year you have to leave to get into Latin, Basis, etc. The departures from 3rd to 4th are a better indicator for measuring the quality of LAMB. I am not going to cheerlead for UE at LAMB because it has been hit or miss.  But you can't combine the 16 4th & 5th grade departures as PP stated as a measure of LAMB quality.  People leave at each of those grade transitions for different reasons.  [/quote]
