[quote=Anonymous]^ Bucking the curve runs both ways here - kids who score low but achieve at first-rate colleges and in professional jobs, and kids who score high despite being low-SES. As long as Banneker's student body remains nearly 100% black, average SAT scores won't nudge up much. Do the Banneker parents care? Apparently not. The connection between kids having a good many upper-middle-class peers (read mostly white in DC) and broad enough horizons to make a smooth transition to college and life beyond is lost on them. The best and brightest low-SES AA kids pay for adult myopia yet again. Mediocre SAT scores, mediocre academics. The school's lovely social environment and application admissions can't change that.
