I am an alumni of Bancroft, graduated in 2006. This is an honest opinion from someone who had experienced 3 years in that school and is now a junior. Although at the time I might have disliked the school attending Bancroft is something I don't regret. Of course like any other school changes can be made.

I'm not saying all teachers were great but for the most part I was lucky enough to have some very good teachers by my side. I recently learned that many of the teachers I had are now gone which may be why there have been some bad reviews but know this: Bancroft is not all that it sounds to be if anything it is (if not was) one of the most well-rounded schools I know Read less

As a new teacher at this school, I don't rely on past reputations because every school year is different. This school year, 2007-2008, is amazing. My neighboring teachers are positive and have great classroom environments which demonstrate student learning of the standards . I am proud to be part

Although new to the school, I recently enrolled my niece here after she was evacuated from Biloxi, MS due to Hurricane Katrina. Everyone in administration as well as the vice principal were extremely personable and efficient in helping to quickly get the necessary papers in order for the child to continue

As far as public schools in Los Angeles, I would say this school is above many others in regards to asthetics of the grounds and the way it is hidden in a very eye pleasing residential neighborhood. You would never know from the surrounding blocks you were still in a city the size of LA. So far, I have had little contact directly with the teachers, but my niece seems to like everyone she has. Also, it is pleasing to me that there are many electives involving the arts, which I feel as important as your basics. Read less

It was obvious that most of them were there just for the social aspects and really did not care about anything else. My daughter was used to serious teachers and always listening and not talking back, but these students made that very difficult. Due to the schedule of rehersals she couldn't continue her studio classes outside of school. The school also did not allow room for the students to perform outside of the school realm. Read less
