Check off that box as "done". LAMB is 17.3% Black and 9.7% at-risk. West is 55% black and 38% at-risk. Brightwood is 20% black and 42% at-risk. For those neighbors who are concerned about "who" LAMB is bringing to the neighborhood, don't worry. No one is lowering property values by allowing a high performing school of mostly well-to-do non-black kids to occupy Kingsbury.[/quote]

We’re pretty comfortable with a diverse neighborhood and have no issue with school kids in the neighborhood.

I just don’t believe that LAMB is about serving underserved children.  It serves few economically disadvantaged kids and even fewer at-risk.[/quote]

Yes, obviously. The "underserved" children at LAMB perform much lower than the "underserved" children at either West or Brightwood. Even though LAMB "seems" to be performing higher overall, that's not true if you look at the performance of each student group.[/quote]
