[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect Banneker will be the school that changes more because of Walls losing its way. It is perfectly positioned to due so - new building, prime location, room to expand, etc.

Just as Walls has shifted in demographics over the years so will Banneker. In 5 years (or less) it won't be a Title I school. Maybe this is what DCPS actually wants and figures Walls will be ok regardless. Doesn't make sense but time will tell.[/quote]

Interesting. I live in Shaw and have two elementary kids and would love to send them to Banneker.[/quote]

But not until you see a safe amount of white students there right? We know, you don’t want to be an only. DCUM is so predictable. Walls is failing, Wilson failing and has behavior issues, where’s the next safe spot where I can send my kid for free to be able to say you’re still cool that you live in the city. I have been imploring you all to look at Banneker for over a decade and have only received “but I don’t want my kid to be an only” or “Banneker’s SAT scores are only barely above national average” for many years. 😂😂[/quote]

Posted above. I took you up on your offer. My kid actually loved the interview in comparison to Walls and changed the first choice to Banneker. PSAT scores = 99 percentile for both. Parents have to get out of the low SAT scores mindset. If your rich and your kid doesn’t have test anxiety, they will score high. SAT scores track family income. (But I also know it’s code for I’m scared of minorities!)[/quote]

Let me see if I understand your logic.

You are rich and white and your kid is handful of kids in DCPS who scored 99% on the PSAT.  And you are at Banneker.

Right.[/quote]
