[quote=Anonymous]OP we had Bancroft on our list, didn't get into LAMB, considered Marie Reed for PS-3, ended up elsewhere at a school with a terrific principal but not a language immersion school like Stokes or Oyster. We got the same feeling, vibe, whatever you want to call it, from visiting Bancroft that other parents had. Bad grammar & confusion from the admin staff, an overwhelming number of low-income Hispanics, terrible test scores. Also nightmarish drop-off traffic. Powell Elementary has many similar issues. It's got some very gung-ho parents and Michelle Obama has taken an interest in the school for the White House kitchen garden project. I think people are confused about why Mount Pleasant is such an expensive/desirable place to live but Bancroft is not a better school. [/quote]
