[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With due respect, Banneker has always gotten attention and produced outstanding grads. It's just that now white people are paying attention to it too. Don't erase its great history.

It’s this but it’s not just this, it’s also that Banneker has nearly doubled in size over the past decade. Banneker always used to have a smaller freshman class than Walls, now it always has a larger freshman class. So of course it’s a bigger presence in the city, and in the high school application game.

I don't believe this to be true. SWW had a freshman enrollment of 45 and a graduating class of 87 students when I attended and graduated in the early 2000s. Expansion at both occurred post-renovation. Banneker has an abnormally large sophomore class (231-255, depending on which SY is considered) and about 185 current freshman. The junior and senior classes are 150 and 120 students, respectively, and aren't meaningfully different from SWW's numbers over the years. Banneker has relatively higher attrition than Walls from year to year also.[/quote]
