[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I am a black woman who scored extremely high on the SAT and LSAT -- high enough to get me an Ivy education and law degree.  My siblings also scored very high on every standardized test they took.  Are we freaks?  No.  We just have parents who are SERIOUS about education.  Banneker's scores are very disappointing for DC's only test-in school.  One explanation is that the privates skim the best students off the top.[/quote]

Well good for you.  I am an AA woman who scored horribly on the SAT and LSAT.  I still graduated in the top 10 percent of my 1st tier law school class.  Your point?  My parents were very serious about education, but they were not educated.  My son attends Banneker.  We can afford to send him to any private school in the area.  I could write a book about how amazing Banneker has been for our son.  You could not get a more committed staff anywhere!  Banneker is not DCs only test in school.  They actually don't test at all.  The application is based on essays, grades and teacher's recommendations.  SWW is test in.

Banneker takes kids from across the city. Clearly kids coming from Wards 5,7 and 8 are not as strong, but they are smart.  Do you just turn your back on them?  Based on your comments, I bet you would![/quote]
