[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few Banneker kids do the IB DP. Even fewer earn an an IB diploma. Check out the difference between DCI, an IB for all school, and Banneker’s IB DP graduation numbers (even with selective admissions. Mind Boggling. [/quote]

They only allow 25 students do the IB path.[/quote]

+1. The DCI booster(s) need to stop spreading misinformation. There can be more than one good school in the city. [/quote]

DCUMs love to tear down Banneker. They’ve been doing it for years.[/quote]This is true. What always annoyed me was that people wouldn't even have their kids apply there. Apply and check it out and if it doesn't suit you, fine.  (I made my kid apply to Banneker, Walls, and Ellington.  She ended up at Ellington.) But finding vague reasons not to apply that aren't necessarily germane?  That not right.[/quote]

Vague reasons like the ho-hum test scores, strict environment, and kill-and-drill-ish approach?

In any event, why would someone have to apply to learn more about a school?[/quote]
