[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming a stable or constant incoming class at 9th is a big assumption. I think the size varies quite a bit year to year.

[b]As the parent of 2 boys I really dislike the implication that there's some reason that boys can't hack it.[/b] Let's at least say that some boys and some girls can't hack it.

In fact, since we're discussing anecdotes the only person I know who left Banneker before graduating was a girl. [/quote]

I agree with you. Still, such a huge drop-out rate is something worth investigating and preventing. It cannot be good for the school or for the kids.[/quote]

It is only a drop out rate if the kids don't graduate from high school at all. Attrition =/= dropout.

Banneker has been judged on how many grades pass the IB exam, AP results and college acceptance and scholarships, benchmarks they do well on. Perhaps another criteria should be added.

The Tier system for charters factor attrition, test scores, and students academic growth over time.
