[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster.  This thread has a going-nowhere feel to it because it sounds like parents are satisfied with the school, and its college placement record, while outsiders (mostly white) who are new to DCPS aren't impressed.   The latter group views SAT scores as an accurate barometer of a 17 year old's preparedness for college, diversity issues notwithstanding, while the former views being AA as a good reason for not scoring high.   As long as parents view mediocre SAT scores as acceptable and Ivy League admisions are irrelevant, and whites shun the school, change isn't in store.  I liked the line a few pages ago about DCPS being mired in relativism.   So be it, no great tragedy in Banneker's case but the city can surely do better by the kids...
