[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has okay test scores.  Not really that high.  Also it lacks sports.

Be aware you are not seeing the full picture of demand.  If someone really likes Banneker and ranks it 2nd, but matches with their #1 pick (say, McKinley Tech), they don't get waitlisted at Banneker.  But they would have been happy to attend.[/quote]
I am not sure what you consider high test scores but the PARCC scores most recently was 96% On or Above Level in ELA and 83% On or Above Level in Math.

That's not that great in math, IMO, for a selective school.  The ELA is okay but the prior year was only 92%.  At a selective school, test scores should be assessed in light of that selectivity and be better than general admission schools.

SAT scores I know are also an area of concern.  I have also heard of a lack of special needs support, and the attrition among boys is concerning.  I am not sure why it happens, but it is.  I don't have personal knowledge of this stuff but that is what I happen to have heard.[/quote]
