[quote=Anonymous]PP : my kid loves pretty much all of their classes and teachers, but especially loves math (honors Algebra 2) and IB Spanish 3. The teachers are highly dedicated and willing to challenge and engage outside of class material. My kid is also really into their (nearly) year-long science fair project, being able to develop a cool project independently but with fantastic equipment and guidance. Homework is totally manageable- it’s about making sure they understand and can apply concepts outside of the classroom. It’s not busy work. At Banneker the students come from vastly different schools, backgrounds, and prep. So some need more prep and find the work more onerous than others. The teachers are dedicated to teaching and elevating each kid where they are, despite the fact that they are all in different places (particularly in 9th). The electives are great- plenty of artsy things but at a small school like Banneker I’m sure it’s not quite what you’d get at JR. My kid has a good deal of out-of-school extra curriculars so I don’t think they are missing anything. [/quote]
