[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, that's not a comprehensive list. It was a list of preliminary commitments to attend, not a list of college acceptances; and when it was printed students were still deciding among offers, financial aid packages, and waiting to see if they were coming off of waitlists. Roughly half of the graduating class is represented here.  [/quote]

OK, but where is the full list? For a selective HS, getting a list of college acceptances and/or matriculations out to prospective students is fairly basic stuff. SAT and AP scores have their issues, but college acceptance outcomes are a key signal of school performance. That the Banneker administration can't seem to find it within themselves to produce a comprehensive list doesn't exactly inspire confidence.[/quote]

Hopefully, it detracts parents like yourself from considering the school for your own children. While I like to help incoming and prospective families, I'm beginning to see why Banneker parents were so quiet on this forum over the years. [/quote]

How do you suggest parents evaluate the school for their prospective child?
We are told not to look at SAT scores. Don’t look at college outcomes. AP scores and IB scores are not great at Banneker. Is it racist to ask for any evidence that other schools are measured on? Shadow days are not allowed either. [/quote]

Since your Larlo is so brilliant and deserving, I have no doubt he would have his pick of schools and breeze right into TJ and RMIB and Blair.  So just go ahead over there. [/quote]
