[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Study after study has shown that the best thing the SAT demonstrates is income of the parents.[/quote][/quote]

And that is generally true in the world of standardized testing.[/quote]

While that maybe true.  There is no way in hell higher SES parents would send their kid to a high school with this kind of SAT scores.  Thus the exodus of whites, Asians, AA and everyone else who care about education leaving DCPS before high school,  Ok, after K or third, or fifth grade.[/quote]

That's funny.  My HHI is over $500K and my son attends Banneker as do other HHI families.[/quote]

So you have the means to send your kid to Sidwell, Exeter, live inbounds to TJ etc. but don't choose to or maybe your kid isn't smart enough...  so you obviously value other things besides education and the quality of your kid's high school.  Different certainly but not the kind of thing the people I know find "funny."[/quote]

Are you serious?  You obviously know NOTHING about Banneker.  You are clearly talking out of your ass.  My kids is getting a great education at Banneker.  If that was not the case, he would not be there.  I also believe that he will have a much better chance of getting into MIT from there.  Believe it or not, they've sent quite a few kids there.  Why are you basing the education there solely on SAT scores?  Is that all you care about?

I don't think Sidwell is a fit for my kid.  Nor is Exeter, which we seriuosly considered for your information.  I truly like the mental and academic support that we receive from Banneker.  We may make a different decision for our other son, but for this one, this is the right decision.

Have you EVER met a Banneker graduate.  The reason we became interested is because I used to work for the State Superintendent of Education and knew several aspects about what the school offered.  The more Banneker graduates I met, the more I was completely intrigued.  I've met kids attending UPenn, Harvard, MIT and Morehouse who have so many GREAT things to say about Banneker.

I did my research and looked a little further than SAT scores.  There is more to school than SAT scores.  And FYI, my kid is really smart.

I love this anonymous board.  I'd be really interested in why you think you are so perfect and smart.[/quote]
