[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live close to Banneker but our kid goes to JR. Would have loved mckinley to be a strong option, but it’s not currently a high achieving school. Banneker is a great school for bright and motivated students willing to work hard, but my kid thought it seemed like a grind. JR has a creative media academy that might be good for OP’s kid.[/quote] In the same boat, though my kid is in 8th grade and doesn't have the JR escape valve. I really want McKinley to be an option, but after the last couple years watching him top out in middle school (both in terms of curriculum challenge and in terms of being surrounded by a large group of high achieving peers), I don't think it's enough. I'm really glad it fills the need it does, though, and it seems like the community is really great.[/quote]
