New
York
(ANI):
Madonna's
daughter
Lourdes
Leon
will
reportedly
enrol
at
LaGuardia
High
School
of
Music
&
Art
and
Performing
Arts
next
fall.
According
to
US
Weekly,
Madonna,
51,
said
that
Lourdes,
13,
who
already
takes
acting
classes
in
Manhattan,
was
admitted
to
a
"performing-arts
high
school"
and
would
major
in
drama.
The
singer's
publicist,
Liz
Rosenberg,
would
only
confirm
Lourdes
is
likely
to
attend
a
school
in
the
city.
"They
live
here
now.
Madonna
didn't
tell
me,
and
I
know
she's
not
going
to
tell," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
her
as
saying.
Students
at
LaGuardia,
which
has
become
known
as
the
"Fame"
school,
said
they
heard
they
might
soon
be
in
class
with
Madonna's
daughter.
And
staff
are
giving
coy
responses
when
questioned.
"I've
asked,"
Luther
Cherry,
16,
a
member
of
student
government,
said.
"School
officials
said,
We
don't
know
until
students
show
up,"
Cherry
stated.
But
even
before
she
may
attend
her
first
day
of
classes,
Lourdes
is
a
source
of
controversy.
Students
said
she
had
been
given
a
private
audition
-
and
therefore
shielded
from
the
pressure
of
a
public
one,
sparking
concerns
about
preferential
treatment.
"A
lot
of
kids
are
talking
about
how
she
had
an
advantage,"
Brittany
Evans,
14,
a
freshman
drama
major,
said.
"LaGuardia
is
a
great
school.
It
really
is,
but
I
think
that
sometimes
it
wants
to
be
more
of
a
'Fame' school,"
she
stated.
City
Education
Department
officials
were
completely
mum
on
whether
Lourdes
might
join
the
ranks
of
the
city's
1.1
million
public
school
kids,
citing
privacy,
and
LaGuardia
officials
also
did
not
respond
to
requests
for
comment.
Some
students
were
ready
to
welcome
Lourdes
-
and
the
possibility
of
her
multimillionaire
mom's
largesse.
"I
hope
she
comes
in
handy
for
when
they
come
around
for
parent
donations," Karem
Penalo,
16,
a
junior
arts
major,
added.
