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.

Overall, my experience with Banneker High School has helped me form an idea of the type of university that I want to attend. The environment at Banneker isn't ideal for learning and many of the classes there prohibit one from expressing their creativity. Knowing this, I want to make sure to attend a school that involves its students in all aspects of life, not just academically.

The worst Experience at Banneker high school would be when a facility staff memeber used his authority to force himself on to me . I was in shock the whole entire time that I didn't know who to tell . The best experience about Bandekar high school would have been the teachers that I have got along with and built great relationships with they were the best part of my high school experience and if I could go back and re-experience that with them, I would.

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...
