[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know why the selective high schools have different minimum GPA and other admissions requirements? For example, Banneker and SWW have a 3.0 minimum GPA but CHEC has no minimum requirement and Phelps is a 2.4 GPA. A "C" average is not what I would consider "selective." I understand why Duke Ellington would have different criteria since they want to attract artistic talent and not necessary kids with high GPAs, but for these schools that are academically focused, why have such low standards? If they increased the minimum GPA requirement, it may be more attractive to high achievers. My DC does really well in Math & Science and McKinley's focus on STEM would be ideal, but the test scores are pretty bad. It's really a shame.[/quote]
