My son attended Bancroft for Kindergarten and I enjoyed the program very much. The teachers were very supportive of the students as well as the parents. There was a teacher at my son's baseball game. I am s single Mom and many times homework and volunteering can be overwhelming, but I definitely felt
... Read more supported and encouraged to do what I could by staff and other parents at Bancroft. There is a good balance of education and self value so that all children feel appreciated and accomplished. I enjoyed the atmosphere and will be re-enrolling my son into this school. I have now realized that there is more to school than soley academics. Bancroft allowed us a healthy balance of education and self development/motivation. Read less

My son is finishing up 1st grade (2nd year at Bancroft). The school is ok. My son needs structure and a little extra help (elements of ADD). The teachers won't help. I have requested help over numerous times but get denied. I am a squeaky wheel and will continue until my son gets the help he deserves.
... Read more I agree with a previous rating which noted the 'urgency' of the school isn't up to par. The staff seems to be nice and is readily available. There is a lot of parent involvement - too much. Too many chiefs - the school has it's fair share of 'drama parents'. The school setting is good as well as location. Parking is never an issue. Class size is about right if not a tad bit smaller. Read less

Bancroft has a strong committment to a child's experience in elementary school, not just to their test scores. I can't emphasize that enough! Bancroft seems to strive for a balance in education, arts, science, community and parent involvement, and last but not least...they want the kids to have fun!
... Read more I had my 2 children in a '10' school and they were miserable! Sure there are things that could be better but Bancroft seems to do more things right than wrong, and for that I'm thankful to have a few more years here. Read less

Good school for K-4. A lot of extras during the day including science, music and art and a great talent show and other after school stuff. I wish the band program had continued after school too. A lot of parent participation.

I have a second grader and a kindergartener at Bancroft. They are two very different children with unique learning sytles and personalities but they both are excelling in this setting. The teachers are responsive, caring, hands-on and really children-centered in their educational approach. The principal
... Read more is highly visible, knows each of the children (and most of the parents!) by name and is always available to students and parents alike. There are many extra-curricular activities that are offered to the students from choir group to the well known annual talent show. They are regular school socials such as family dances, fundraiser nights in the community, and even a movie night or two complete with popcorn. Both my children visit the school library weekly, my second grader has science (with a seperate science teacher) weekly and my kindergartener uses computers 4 times a week. The PTA is very active and I always feel comforable on campus. Read less

The level of parental involvement is very high at this school - parents volunteer in the classroom, in the office, at coordinate fundraisers throughout the year. There is so much commaradarie here with the full-time participating parents, that working parents are frowned upon for not taking time off
... Read more work to have a more active a role in school. I find many of the active parents to be clickish. There is an annual musical performance that is the talk of the neighborhood - it's packed like a Sacramento Kings final playoff game. There is alot of time and money put into the musicals - the kids are addicted to being a part of the yearly program. The academic programs are top rate - they litterally believe that no child can be left behind. If your child does not score an 80% or above, tutors are assigned. The school will flunk your kids.
