[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They may be application schools but I don't think they have impressive AP pass rates, graduation rates, etc for "application" schools. The standards in DC are so low sometimes, just because you pass a test doesnt mean anything. I have seen a lot of DCPS graduates in my office as interns and many are functionally illiterate but UDC can't wait to take their loan money for tuition. Its such a racket. [/quote] Banneker's graduation rate: 100%, Banneker's college acceptance rate: 100%. Washington Post: "Banneker is 60 percent low-income, yet its passing rate for AP tests is 89 percent, right up there with Wootton at 88 percent and Langley at 88 percent. It has about the same test participation rate as the two suburban schools. According to principal Anita Berger, less than 1 percent of students ever leave because the work is too hard."[/quote]
