i love this school i recommend going to Bancroft. I am an eighth grader and Bancroft has helped me learn so much.sure the school has very poor but many teachers care about there students.The teachers try to get there students ready for high school and college they not only help you with your studies they can help you with problems you might have at home .So if your not sure where to go to middle school go to Bancroft .It has taught me many new things.Also ,it has a wonderful dance teacher she can really help you. ms.king our drill team coach helps you too and i love that i am from Bancroft. It is one decision i will NEVER regret.

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. During my three years there I was lucky enough to get some of the best teachers I have had. 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

Bancroft Middle School for me is a very low class school, it has low acedemics and does not have all the books that students need to learn and to succed to college. The students are very ill-tempered, as well. In which the school is very harmful.

I am attending B.M.S. right now and it's my first year here. So far I think it's a good school. The best thing about this school is the dance classes and the shows.

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 of the Bancroft team!

this is a school very poor in academics. the teachers put very little time and effort into their students. i have attended this school for 3 years and would strongly advise against going to this school.

I attended this school only for 6th grade and planning on chenging schools. I really don't like this school because the safety isn't really good, during class it's really disturbing and teacher's don'tknow how to handle students.

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 her education. 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.

My daughter culminated from 8th grade in June '05. Overall she was disappointed in this school. She attended in hopes of advancing in her studies of the arts (dance and drama). She was better off staying with the dance studio she had previously attended. She never learned anything new at school and the teacher had no control over her class. I sat in several rehersals and was appalled at the behavior of these students. 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.

I am a parent at Bancroft MS. My son has been doing very well.I like the safety that Bancroft has to offer my child. The Attendance staff are very helpful. I would reccomend this school to anyone.I do have one complaint. The 7th grade counselor leaves me with uncertainties when it comes to my son. But there are other counselors that are happy to help me out.

My experience with Bancroft so far has been a good one. This is my child's first year and I look forward to learning more about Bancroft.

I'm a current student at Bancroft. Bancroft is overall above average, maybe even more. But, there is only two honor classes for sixth graders. There are also no lockers, except for the P.E. ones. So basically, I like this school, but it could have improvements.

This school is excellent for children who have parents that are willing to take the time out to participate with student learning. I had a wonderful experience at this school.
