[quote=Anonymous]I have two boys, one that went to Banneker and one to JR.  My kid who went to Banneker played travel soccer.  He was able to make it work, but he hated it.  If anyone asks him now, he would tell them not to send their kid to Banneker.  I will say this, he was very well prepared academically for college.  His first year was a breeze, with no academic shock or struggle with the transition. He graduated college last year.  My JR kid graduated two years ago and did not go to college (nothing to do with his education, he chose a different path).  I actually really like the school spirit, the tons of course offerings, and all the clubs at JR.

I think you should have your kid visit both schools. Make a pros-and-cons list for each school and decide with your kid. Keep in mind that if you can't keep up academically, Banneker will put you out. The freshman class is bigger than the graduating class will be four years later, especially for boys who struggle more than girls. [/quote]
