[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the history of Banneker?

When so many schools, in DCPS or Baltimore or Memphis or ATL, are failing... Why is this one competitive?  Is the neighborhood more wealthy?  More rigorous academics?

Why is it historically an AA space?  Leftover from segregation or? [/quote]

OUR SCHOOL
Benjamin Banneker Academic High School opened for students in August, 1981 as an alternative public institution of secondary education in which students in grades 9-12 are engaged in rigorous and varied academic experiences. The environment of the school is designed to provide students with a highly structured college preparatory program. The curriculum of the school affords opportunities for developing knowledge, talents, and skills needed for success in post-secondary experiences.

The primary purpose of Benjamin Banneker Academic High School is to serve those students of the District of Columbia who desire a highly structured four year academic program of study beginning at the ninth grade.
