Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Lamping attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school with a STEM identity.
Your child is interested in science, technology, engineering, space-themed learning or hands-on labs.

Think twice when

You live outside the zone and are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district magnet seat with a specialized application pathway.
