[quote=Anonymous]For me, I'd be interested to hear what parents think of Cleveland, Marie Reed and Bancroft as well (yes, I know there is a difference in demand among those 3, but I'd love more info about all 3).[/quote]

We have two young children at Bancroft. So far, it has been great. I am not convinced that we will stay there until fifth grade but I hope that its momentum continues so that we do.  It works for us because we both work full time, with somewhat flexible hours, in opposite directions without a nanny / babysitter / family - so being able to walk to their school is very important. The aftercare program for the young kids is flexible - we use it 1 - 2 times per week and the day(s) can change. This keeps us sane and then makes our kids happier. Although language immersion is not a must for us, it is a fantastic bonus. I think Bancroft is a bilingual school (all kids are in the dual language program) whereas Cleveland and Marie Reed have dual language and English language programs - so the whole school is on one page (but I could be wrong). The communication about events could be better but I have found that checking their website often, going to PTA and other meetings and joining the school's listserv gives me enough information (you just need to be more proactive). Picking up our kids yesterday and seeing them hug their teachers and classmates while we were chatting with other parents making plans to get together over the holidays was terrific. [/quote]
