[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We looked at Banneker for my white kid but he turned it down For the following reasons: 1) we live very close to Wilson. 2) Was not too excited that almost all kids are AA and more girls than boys. 3) [b]Sat scores and college acceptances are worse than Wilson[/b]. Very impressive though that almost all kids graduate and go on to some college from Banneker. 4) Banneker is scheduled to be renovated shortly which means that two of his years there would be spent at a holding school. 5) not many options for sports He also rejected SWW for being too small, bad open house, principal seemed annoying and arrogant, and the fact that he felt most annoying kids from Deal (in his opinion) were planning on going there.[/quote] I'm not sure about colleage acceptance rate, but everything I have ever heard or read about Banneker states 100% or close to it for college acceptance rate. Can you please share a link to where you got your information? Also, it's not true that the SAT scores for Banneker are worse than Banneker. They are pretty much the same except Banneker comes out slightly ahead of Wilson.
