[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to everyone who responded (minus the one very snarky poster!).

I have learned that Banneker's SAT scores are relatively low -- for what I have been told was an exceptional school -- which makes me wonder if it makes sense to send DD there. I do know families where the kids have gone there an excelled -- Stanford, Columbia etc -- but I'm wondering if that's the norm or just the to be expected few steller kids going to the best places. In any acse, I'll take a closer look at Wilson and SWW.[/quote]

I actually think the reason the scores are low is a reflection of their parents inability to fork over $16k and some change for SAT Prep.  I have started looking at the cost for tutors and the prices are expensive.  Banneker has a very large FARMS population.  [/quote]

Typica post. Other people do wel because they pay money for test prep, not because they are smart and/or test well (to the extent those factors can be separated). This mentality -- that others can't have or don't deserve nice things -- is rampant in this message board.
