I think that the new class was created because there were too many rising pk4 students. It was filled with existing pk4 and K students.

LAMB family here. It makes sense that it is hard to understand if you aren't part of the community, but we are so very happy there and haven't considered leaving for one minute. Even with everything that has gone on this year (I won't choose to use the word "drama"). My children are learning so much in two languages, the community is so warm and close and the teachers are amazing. We still feel lucky every day that we won this lottery. Others may feel differently, but one family's view here.

Is LAMB worth all the drama? I'm sincerely curious because we are enrolled at a neighborhood school that's been refreshingly straightforward and that we feel good about despite a less than stellar reputation, but we also have a good number on the LAMB waitlist.

Even when they make a new class they tend to seed it by moving kids from other communities, and sometimes make both classes slightly smaller.

Max size for a class is 24-27, meaning just 8-9 per grade if it is perfectly even. It isn't always.

It makes perfect sense. They need to fill ALL of the PK3 spots each year, which means more spaces available and more waitlist movement. PK4 seats are likely only filled due to attrition, so there is usually little to no movement.

With mixed grade level classes I'm having a hard time making sense of WL moving 40 places for PreK3 and 6 for PreK4. Can anyone explain? In the teens for PreK4 and hoping it's ok to be hopeful!

They've updated the list:

Decent pre-K3 movement, little to none for the higher levels.

how about today?

Anyone get off the wait list today?

They never update it. Stop expecting it.

Why do one update and then give up?

To make you crazy?

Who knows. Call every so often. If you get a slot they will hunt you down. Otherwise just let it go.

They updated it periodically last summer.
