[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live close to Banneker but our kid goes to JR. Would have loved mckinley to be a strong option, but it’s not currently a high achieving school. Banneker is a great school for bright and motivated students willing to work hard, but my kid thought it seemed like a grind.

JR has a creative media academy that might be good for OP’s kid.[/quote]

Yes to this. I am the previous poster where I shared that my son reordered his list from Banneker 1 to McKinley Tech 1 for this exact reason "a grind". After meeting students at both he decided that Tech was better FOR HIM. I can share that we are Black and he had the opportunity to talk to students at both. He works hard We have generational DC ties (even though I didn't grow up here) so we know alum from both schools. I also have first hand knowledge of JR from quite a few years ago and that was enough to not consider moving in town for him to be in boundary. I know it wouldn't have been a good fit for him and I'll withhold any other thoughts I have because this thread isn't about JR. [/quote]
