[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought about Banneker as more of a discipline Academy than an elite institution of education. [b]By hand selecting their kids and rigidly enforcing minimum standards and ejecting the kids that don't cut it before they pull down their averages, the school skews it's results[/b] that honestly are only average at best even after all of that. This also (I suspect) lessens the populations of motivated black students at the remaining majority black high schools in the district exacerbating the perception of those as drop out mills. This article does nothing to change that perception.[/quote] SWW does the same thing. The retention rate from 9th to 12th is low. [/quote]
