[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not much news here.

Among publics in DC SWW still ranks highest, followed by Banneker.

Washington Latin's SAT/ACT scores seem low - and only 18% of last year's seniors passed at least 1 AP exam? [/quote]

But wait, isn't SAT scores the only reason white folk won't look at Banneker? Yet they'll flock to Latin. Sad.[/quote]

Excellent point.

Banneker - SAT average for 2016 = 1038
Washington Latin - SAT average for 2016 = 943[/quote]

Why do people send kids there?[/quote]

I'm talking about Latin, and I'm really asking. [/quote]

Latin's 18% AP participation is so grim that it sounds like a typo.  Could it be a mistake?  How can this be possible after a MS program offering great rigor/a classical education?  I would have guessed that at least 2/3 of Latin HS students take APs, and that the SAT average was, say 1200.  What is going at at this to-die-for charter?  The Emperor may have clothes, but just underwear.  [/quote]
