[quote=Anonymous]I can speak from personal experience about Walls and anecdotally about Banneker (I know several people who used to teach there). Walls: Foreign language (through AP in all): Spanish, French, Latin, Chinese Highly motivated students Lack of structure in the school in general Class sizes: core classes 25, AP classes 20 The building is too small for the number of students so teachers float, kids take classes all over the place- library, commons, GW campus, small rooms with no windows, regular classrooms Lots of AP electives, two required APs for all: World History and Lang Lots of group work and group projects Kids have to be organized because the school is not Banneker: Highly motivated kids Very structured Heavy top down management from admin Strict behavior and dress code (old school) Strong academics Lots of homework[/quote]
