[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Bancroft parent who lives in-bounds for Bancroft.  Thus far we've been pretty happy with the school.  My son is going into third grade and has been there since K.  K was rough because it was 90% in Spanish and it took him a bit to understand what was going on.  Now he has no problem with any of it.  He won't speak to me in Spanish but I've heard him talk to his Spanish dominant classmates in Spanish.

The community in MtP is amazing.  Because it is the neighborhood school , all his friends are within walking/biking distance.  He plays sports with them during the year and we arrange camp schedules together during the summer for both fun and carpool purposes.  Now that he is older he can go to Bancroft on the weekends with his friends and they play all day.  He rides his bike around the neighborhood with the other kids. When they tire of the playground they end up at someone's house and then back to the playground.

I wasn't thrilled with my son's K teacher but she is no longer at the school but I've really liked the teachers he had in 1st and 2nd.  I've heard from a couple of parents who have older kids that the teachers my son has for 3rd grade are also top notch.  The classes are big (24-25) but as far as I can tell, the teachers have a pretty good handle on classroom discipline.
