[quote=Anonymous]OP you seem to believe that you need to choose between an academically rigorous school that prepare your smart kid for college (Banneker) or an ok school where your kid can have fun but may have not as prepared for college. if your kid is really smart and hardworking, it will find plenty of challenges at JR (except for the first year, which I admit is weak but you still can select more challenging classes and take time to explore clubs, some of which are also challenging). I had a kid who graduated from JR in 2023 (so went through the Covid mess during HS, 9th grade cut short, 10th at home, semesters instead of year long classes and so on) and is now studying in Europe and doing really well. second kid is a top student, doing AP calculus BC in 10th grade and other classes in the engineering academy, robotics club and so on. JR is a large school so is not for everybody and some kids may thrive in a smaller and more controlled environment. but dont think that a smart and academically inclined kid cannot find challenges at JR because is it incorrect.
