[quote=Anonymous]My kid applied to Banneker. I love the academic focus, sports program seems decent, and clubs look interesting. But what's the culture like? We don't know anyone there so would love some insight. Our IB high school's chronic absenteeism rate is something like 40%. So, I think it is awesome that Banneker's rate of 10% is one of the lowest in DC. Is that indicative of the day-to-day school environment being less chaotic than some other schools? Kids actually [i]want[/i] to go to school? Is it the teachers? Or students being self motivated? Walls mentioned that they hadn't had a fight in 11 years, which is a stat that they are very proud of. Any bullying or other issues at Banneker? Any issues with the neighborhood? (I lived in Shaw 20 years ago, and I know a lot has changed since then but it is still not terrific in terms of street crime.) Are sport teams try out or no-cut? Thank you[/quote]
