[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker is also a safe place for kids-- you don't see kids fighting there, etc.  They leave their [book-filled] backpacks in the hallway and nobody touches them.  I think the teachers are some of the most proud and committed teachers in the system-- they believe in their students.  That said, probably with more school choice these days, Banneker doesn't have the pick of the crop like it used to so I would guess scores are down.  It used to be the only game in town besides privates because Walls wasn't all that and Wilson was pretty much a gigantic mess (where there was fighting).  Banneker was the school of choice for AA nerds who didn't go private.  Now AA nerds can go to Cap City, Latin, Friendship, SEED, etc.  [/quote]

I'm intrigued by this description because although my kids aren't AA, I sincerely hope they grow up to be nerds. There was no high school like this where I grew up, also a majority AA urban community, I ended up at a private HS. If my DDs thought they could hack the social aspect of being the (only? one of few?) Caucasians at the school I'd consider it for them.[/quote]
