[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should the standards be equal to apply to SWW, Banneker, McKinley Tech, and Phelps? Their missions/focus are quite different. [/quote]

How are SWW and Banneker’s missions different exactly? Both are rigorous college prep schools. [/quote]

I always thought Banneker was more STEM/Math focused while SWW was more general. Sort of like the difference between MIT and Harvard. Both good schools but different.

That being said, I could be way off base though. [/quote]

You are indeed way off base. Banneker is not STEM or Math focused at all. Neither is Walls although I think Walls has more AP Science offerings compared with Banneker. For a STEM kid, Wilson is better than either Banneker or Walls as it has Computer Science and Engineering, as well as, advanced Math and Physics. McKinley Tech might be an option but really no better than Wilson. I don’t think McKinley Tech offers Physics C. I think it has Calculus BC but hardly any kids take it. [/quote]
