GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I believe that being in the 3DE magnet program at Banneker offers the best experience and college readiness compared to the regular courses offered at the school. Being in the magnet program allows you to not only learn about leadership and build confidence, but it also allows you the opportunity to put it into action and help build character. I wish that more students had the chance to be in the program.

Banneker High School is committed to your education. Teachers make sure you understand the lesson for that day. Always remain tentative in your education, and the teachers will handle the rest.

I'm a Senior at Banneker High School. The inherent problem with Banneker High School lies with the students, above all else. Many of the students that arrive at Banneker would rather skip class and get into fights than sit in class and learn. The bad ones ruin it for those of us who are in school to...
