[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker admitted 260 kids to yield 180. 180/260 = 69%

Walls typically admits about 240 students (adding match day numbers plus waitlist offers) to wind up with about 160 freshmen on count day. 160/240 = 67%

The numbers are really incredibly similar. It’s almost like Banneker and Walls are about the same size, located in the same general area, draw from broadly overlapping applicant pools, compete with the same privates and charters, and must conduct admissions through the same weird lottery mechanism. They’re very similar schools, in the grand scheme of things. [/quote]

Nope....Walls can fit inside of Banneker from maximum  student standpoint. Banneker is slowly growing while Walls is over enrolled.[/quote]

Banneker is 671 this year, Walls is about 600.

In a high school landscape where schools range from 377 (Latin) to 2153 (JR), I think it’s fair to say that Walls and Banneker are about the same size. [/quote]

Banneker's capacity is around 1K and Walls is over enrolled right now around 575-600. There was a call late last year about the overcrowded schools and how to alleviate. So yes, Banneker's building is substainlly larger.[/quote]
