[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know very much about either school. Are they neighborhood schools and the student population reflects that?[/quote] They're both city-wide application only public schools. With great academic results.[/quote] +1. This is the point of the question, I believe. High SES parents clamoring for schools that have high academic standards, particularly white parents whose children are not zoned for the Deal/Wilson feeder, but who do not give McKinley and Banneker a chance either.[/quote] There was a long Banneker thread here a few months ago. Essentially, yes, academics there are higher than other black-majority schools, but lower than TJ, Wilson, SWS, so there's no particular reason why a white family would choose to send their kids there.[/quote]
