[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker is definitely on my list for my geeky (white) DS who does not like sports and loves doing homework!  Maybe it will be easier for him to find a girlfriend there too :)  [/quote]

+1  It's the best high school in DC.   Basic proficiency scores are much higher than for Wilson.[/quote]
"Best" means different things for different people. Highest test scores, yes. Best social environment? Best well rounded students? Eh.[/quote]

Banneker does not have the highest scores in DC, not even close.[/quote]
Right, and wrong.

Second highest average SAT after Walls.[/quote]

Right and right.

Walls is a universe ahead.

Banneker is a faaar second, much closer to Wilson (which doesn't kick out boys like Banneker does) and to McKinley than to Walls.[/quote]

Stop dissing Banneker, which is a fine school with a ton of great smart kids.

What percentage of the posts here are conservative trolls trying to get parents to argue?
10%?  50%?[/quote]

Stop spreading falsehoods.

Banneker does not have the highest academic scores, period.

Based on the data you or some other PP shared via the link above, Banneker is much closer to Wilson (not a selective school) than to Walls.

You can of course say there are many smart kids at the school, working very hard, and everyone will agree.

So why the need to lie?[/quote]
