[quote=Anonymous]Read more carefully. You are proving my point. Yes, we know that the deal neighborhood was not using deal in big numbers until after dr.kim. But the fact that the school is located in a wealthy, well-educated neighborhood--with successful feeder elementaries--allowed the school to build on its momentum by having automatic entry for large numbers of successful students coming from a) the neighborhood and b) the strong feeder elementary schools. That won't work in other parts of the city where a neighborhood school gets a great principal, great curriculum but the large numbers of inboundary students have academic and social issues and the feeder elementary schools are failing to teach the basic academics to a 6th grade level. Banneker works without the neighborhood because it is a selective admissions school that lets in the best, brightest and most motivated regardless of SES. The city outside of upper northwest maybe needs more of that[/quote]
