[quote=Anonymous]There are so many schools in DC that are just not successful by any reasonable metric. Meanwhile, you have Banneker, which is doing a perfectly fine job serving a group of students who do not otherwise have great options. They work hard, they do above-average in terms of tests (and far better than average for DC), and unlike with Eastern, there have been no "I found myself totally unprepared for college" stories, which seems like a really good sign, especially given the number of kids it's sending to elite colleges. And if you're worried that they're not well-serving the absolute brightest kids - the mom of the kid with the 1500 SAT scores and 6 AP tests isn't, so maybe those concerns are misplaced.

If you wish it were serving a different group of students, that just seems like you want a different school to exist! Which is fine, but that has nothing to do with Banneker. Why aren't you making this complaint about Walls or McKinley? They are also not the school you wish would exist but doesn't.[/quote]
