Banneker works?  Ever met a Banneker student with SATs in the 700s?   Banneker is too little, too late for most of their top performers.   I quit interviewing Banneker students for my Ivy a few years back, after a decade of commitment, because I wasting my time and coming away from interviews shaking my head, year after year.  The most promising students obviously weren't being well served by the system, without much in the way of ES or MS offerings for advanced learners.  DCPS doesn't seem to want to face the reality that the best, brightest and most motivated parents and students rarely choose programs that are overwhelmingly black, if they have appealing alternatives, because the country isn't.  Sadly, Banneker's leadership, and teaching staff, doesn't seem to want a highly diverse student body, which I see as a disservice to the kids.   They aren't know to lobby for change, they merely pay lip service to it occasionally.  The school is a throwback to days gone by.  I'm looking forward to interviewing AA BASIS seniors in a few years.  [/quote]

Do all ivy league grads go around saying "my ivy" all the time, or is this the same poster who posts ad nauseum about the "decade" of interviewing Wilson and Banneker students who didn't make it into his/her school. I fear that someday my kid will have to talk to this person as he/she doesn't seem very effective in advocating for his/her prospects.[/quote]
