[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker is the only school on that list where you can make a reasonable case that white parents have avoided it because of the racial makeup. The neighborhood high schools white kids avoid are the same ones with extremely low IB participation rates overall. They aren't good schools, and It's crazy that some of these numbers aren't even lower. [/quote] My sense with Banneker is that white parents have less enthusiasm for the school largely because of how the principal runs the school, less because of race. Principal is very strict with discipline and many classes have a drill and kill approach. Communication from the school is minimal. Sports teams are mostly weak. Extracurriculars are mostly weak. The split between IB and AP means that you don’t have a wide selection of AP or IB classes. STEM is also weak. Banneker does somethings very well but those things are not especially valued by white parents as a whole [/quote]
