[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker has never been, and has never tried to be, Bronx Sci.  It's a FUBU school for kids whose self-image is more tied to being black than to being smart.  DC kids who see themselves as smart first and black second tend to end up at one of the "Big 3" or St. Anselm's, or even Wilson or Walls.[/quote]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  Since when did students at Banneker care more about being black than smart.  Where do you get your small minded ideas?  Banneker is a great school.  Instead of focusing on SAT scores, look at where the kids are going to college and how much scholarship money they get (apparently, the largest amount in DC).  I did horribly on my SATs and LSATs.  I must have gotten into college and law school based on affirmative action.  Oh yeah, I went to a historically black college and a well regarded DC majority law school, which I might add, I graduated in the top 10% of my class, passed the bar and went to work for a very large law firm.  How could all of this been possible based on my mediocre SAT scores?[/quote]
