As a current student at Bancroft, it’s sweet here! The teachers are very kind (well, if you’re nice to them and don’t talk back) and as long as you turn in assignments on time and get a passing grade, teachers will care about you. Something I do find a problem is that children are afraid to speak up
Posted by a student on 10/7/2025The classrooms are pretty clean! Maybe the best middle school in the long beach unified school district in my opinion. My son mikey went here and is at millikan highschool and he had been a very successful good boy. He gets straight A+ and loves his school and classes and he told me in middle school
Posted by a parent on 7/28/2025It is great i wish i was here
Posted by a community member on 9/25/2024I am a current 8th grader at Bancroft Middle School and of my three years here this schools main problem is drugs (vaping in the bathrooms). Overall the teachers and staff are very supportive and their are many resources for homework help and etc. It is mainly the students that are bad at Bancroft.
Posted by a student on 10/13/2023Think twice before sending a child to this school. Maybe with a new administration things will change. Notice the decline in reviews over the years. There is a reason for that.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLakewood Christian Schools has been an incredible experience for my kids so far (prek through grade 3,) and we can’t wait for many years to come at this school! The teachers have been so caring, knowledgeable and effective. My kids are gaining wonderful foundational learning skills. The phonics curriculum in particular is fantastic, it teaches true phonics rules and skills and doesn’t rely heavily on sight words. The community at the school is a truly special and caring place. The school allows children ample time for enjoyment and exercise, they prioritize several recesses each day and PE several times each week. They train children in developing personal character, with a strong emphasis on community service and honoring our elders and service members. They foster healthy relationships among peers and encourage respectful interactions between students. They bring the love of Jesus and the GOOD NEWS of His salvation to the forefront in many aspects of the school. Through an amazing “sing scripture” music program, my kids have memorized some wonderfully encouraging and powerful scripture verses in a fun and easy way! LCS is truly a blessing to our entire family!Parent Review3y ago - St. Timothy Lutheran School
