[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker has a ton of homework and very few boys. Not right for my family, but ymmv.[/quote]  This is true. My son is an 11th grade Banneker student.  Banneker is an amazing school, but it's def not a good fit for everyone.[/quote]

Agree but with all the super advanced kids in DCUM going to Basis and complaining that there is not tracking, you'd think the parents would be lining up to go to Banneker. But they're not. And the ONLY reason is because it is such a black school. Which is sad to me because these kids are the cream of the crop. Nobody should have any concerns about peers at this school.[/quote]  Agree 100%.  Nobody should have those kind of concerns, in  my experience the kids at Banneker are a wonderful bunch of kids!  That's not even what I meant by "a good fit" though, I was talking more about the rigor and overwhelming amount of homework.  If you have a kid that is not extremely academic focused and motivated Banneker may not be a good fit.    Banneker allows students to do a shadow day, I encourage everyone who thinks they might be interested to do this, it's a good way to get a feel for the atmosphere there.[/quote]
