We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am an interdistrict transfer parent. Of my two years at Lau, I have to point out some of the pros and cons of attending this school. Pros1. Great after school programs: Yes all the after school programs are within walking distance. Cameron house, YMCA, Chinese schools like Cumberland, Nam Kue, etc...
