[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eyeroll over an average math SAT of 480?  If the Banneker kids get a bigger break, they might as well go to Eastern, Dunbar or Ballou.  No wonder some many AA parents run to BASIS or Latin for 5th and stay until 12th.

Basis DC has the highest SAT scores of any public high school in DC (SWW is second).

Average SAT scores

Math: 650
Verbal: 650
Total: 1300

Verbal: 590
Total: 1160

Basis? Talk about drill and kill. High SAT scores is all it has going for it.[/quote]

If this were true, most of the BASIS MS families would walk away before HS.  They don't. BASIS must have many good teachers and hard-working, well-prepared students.  BASIS got two to MIT in 2021 and two more in 2022.  How many to MIT from Walls and Banneker in...the last 10 years. Zero? [/quote]

NP, Walls has sent kids to MIT in the past ten years.  And kids have gotten in but chosen other universities like CIT.  With a Gates Millenial Scholarship.  But please keep putting down other schools to make your school seem stronger.[/quote]

I know many Banneker grads from the 90s who went to various ivy league universities. Not sure about MIT or recent matriculations but if someone can post I'm sure it would be appreciated. [/quote]
