[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is Banneker High School not a top choice for families on this forum. I never see any posts about this school.  The school has high test scores and a high college acceptance rate. 
This school would be on the top of my list if my child was entering high school.  
Just curious?

We all know the answer to this, but I'll just spell it out.  This is DCUM, its demographics are largely white and UMC and above, and Banneker is too black for their taste.  [/quote]

More DCUM Race Rancor stuff, so old.

There’s a ton of other information above that would be actually useful to OP.

Except it's true.  The other "information" being offered are just excuses.  A previous poster mentioned the school's SAT scores not being that great, for example -- apparently oblivious to the fact that there's a high correlation between household income and SAT scores, and Banneker isn't exactly a rich kid school.

We all know why DCUM parents shun Banneker.[/quote]
