[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I heard from my daughter (who's friends go to Banneker) that they get A LOT of homework and many end up transferring to walls in sophomore year.[/quote]

There are very few new Walls admits in 10th grade, so the idea that "many" students from one school end up transferring there is obviously completely ridiculous.[/quote]

Even if only 2-3 transfer to walls, many still transfer out of Banneker. [/quote]

Just to provide some hard numbers:

The class of 2026 had:
168 students in 9th grade,
162 students in 10th grade,
155 students in 11th grade, and now has
153 students in 12th grade.

Banneker does not backfill, so that’s a total of 15/168 students who have left over three years. I would not call that “many,” but I’m not really interested in debating the meaning of the word “many.” The numbers are what they are. [/quote]

Actually that's not completely accurate. According to US News and & World Report there is an enrollment of 245 students in 9th grade and 162 in 10th grade. And as you stated, Banneker does not backfill so you can obviously see the numbers decreasing.

Please get your facts right.[/quote]

What’s your problem with the school? You sure seem to have one.
