[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Phelps is severely underenrolled which is why they will take anyone. Their construction programs are a mess and teacher turnover is very high. McKinley Tech also struggles with underachievement and they will practically take anyone. It is a STEM magnet in name only. Sad but true.[/quote] But if they were more selective by increasing the minimum GPA requirement, wouldn't they actually attract more families? Then they would not be under enrolled. It's almost like a chicken and egg thing, but I think SWW and Banneker do well is because they have high standards, which attracts higher achieving students, and results in better test scores, which then attracts more families.[/quote]
