Wow! Fancy that! Apparently Lea School has been getting a lot of Public Charter School cast-offs or other non-eligible admits like English Language Learners and Special Needs Students; besides what Penn Alexander gets to pick and choose.
MY school is SO overcrowded for the same reason. Closing more schools and further budget cuts will exacerbate the situation. Hopefully, more Penn parents who live in the Lea School Catchment Area will save our neighborhood public school.
