[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bancroft only began to attract higher SES families when they saw that was a way to feed to Deal.  Maybe they can mobilize together to some other school now since they are there.  But Deal is the only reason they came.[/quote]

I would be interested in knowing if this was true.  I don't believe it to be honest.  Did white and upper class parents come to Bancroft only when they saw it fed to Deal?  Can anyone speak to when and why upper class families began to go to Bancroft?[/quote]

For what it's worth here are some old stats on Bancroft.

In 2005, it was 87% FARMS; now 77%, so a change but not a huge one. It was 2% white back then, now 10%.

I'm not sure exactly when Bancroft became a Deal feeder. I have the impression Bancroft graduates went to Deal before that, perhaps by lobbying the Deal principal. Or maybe the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood has always been part of the Deal boundary.

Bancroft has been feeding DEAL when I went there and I'm 49.
