[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it hilarious that the Banneker boosters defend the poor scores because Banneker is a title 1 school yet kids in similar SES magnet and test in schools in NYC have much higher SAT averages in the 1300’s. [/quote] NYC (and other cities) have true magnet programs and it makes a huge difference. DC is the only city I know of that doesn't have one. I've heard it's an equity issue but at some point the city has to give all kids the best opportunity. It needs to be a major political issue. All the kids in privates, I'd view them as my clients that I want in the fold. You have to offer what people need and want. Banneker and Walls both get kids into great colleges. It just seems that DC parents have to work so much harder for results. [/quote]
