[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I simply doubt Rhee-era data is relevant any more. The number of people applying to Banneker basically doubled when the school relocated. Banneker is now essentially on top of the Shaw metro stop, and thus easier to access from nearly everywhere. The new facility also has much better athletic facilities, which matters a lot to some students.

Also, back in the Rhee era Banneker had a uniform; now they merely have a dress code. And while I’m sure there are kids who prefer Walls because they value the opportunity to wear ripped jeans, miniskirts, and tube tops to class, as the parent of a teenager I have to believe that number is smaller than the number who wanted to avoid the old polo-and-khakis uniform.

Leaving out all the other comments and topics in this thread, in 2010 the enrollment at Banneker was mid 400s and now it is over 700, so both how many kids are going to the school and who they are has changed significantly. I don’t think it is really helpful at all so compare to the Rhee era[/quote]
