[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such an entertaining discussion to read, as the parent of a high-scoring Banneker student.

If you have a smart kid looking for a demanding high school education, Banneker is an excellent choice.

If you are looking for a school full of affluent white kids, Banneker is not it. But you didn’t need SAT data to tell you that. [/quote]

+1, knowing multiple kids at both Walls and Banneker (would be thrilled if my own child got a spot either place, Banneker is much closer to where we live) the idea that Banneker kids are somehow inferior is laughable to me. Banneker is slightly larger and, yes, has a larger at risk population. No idea where the PP is getting SAT scores but I would assume that would account for the difference in scores. They are not directly equivalent populations. But the kids I know both places are all incredibly accomplished.[/quote]

The SAT difference is nearly 150 points. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a chasm. And you can find the average SAT scores lots of places, they’re publicly reported by the schools themselves. Just google.

More than 150. DC publishes the data. Walls vs Banneker.
23-24 it was 196 points
22-23 it was 221 points
21-22 it was 229 points

So the difference between the two appears to be steadily decreasing.
