[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give us a break. Bright, hard-working HS students who've been reading literary classics for pleasure since middle school and did well in algebra and geometry have a strong tendency to score high on SATs, regardless of parents' income.  Banneker's subpar SAT scores are indicative of most students' subpar prep.  No surprises in a city without ES GT programs or test-in MS programs with scores of highly segregated K-8 programs.

DCPS' determination to beat back high SES/white buy-in at Walls is a grim development indeed.  Walls was on the up and up until the strong head was canned. What a terrible shame. How deeply misguided on the part of all responsible.  Only a new mayor could arrest Walls' slide.

Well Google. There is plenty of research out there on SAT scores correlating to household income. Banneker is a challenging school. That’s all I am going to post because this thread isn’t about Banneker. Smart white kids will be challenged and thrive at Banneker along with smart (and nice) peers. Great school.[/quote]
