I want to add my support as the parent of two recent Bancroft graduates. As much as it was clear while my kids were still there that Bancroft was a great school (both in terms of academic strength and in terms of inspiring, caring teachers), I didn't really understand how great it was until they started college. Both of them went on to highly selective colleges (one of them with a $100K merit scholarship), and when they got to college, they just excelled. Something about the Bancroft approach to inquiry and curiosity, writing, public speaking, and self-advocacy was the perfect alchemy for college success. They were both much better prepared than their college classmates, and both ended up being a go-to resource for college friends who weren't as strong at thinking independently, writing, and participating in a college community.
Under its new leadership, I am even more excited for this School. What a gem!

All 3 of my sons attended Bancroft 9-12th grade. It's was a great fit for them. They all enjoyed the academic experience and all 3 played varsity sports in at least two sports. If you want your child to experience team sports, I highly recommend Bancroft. They play in a competitive league and your child will get to play! But the real reason to attend is the academic experience and the ability to get your kids into the right colleges, which they will. My first son needed a school that would give him the individualized education he needed since he had both dyslexia and ADHD. Turns out he had amazing analytics skills and completed all 4 computer science classes at Bancroft. He got his Engineering degree 2 years ago and is now a successful software engineer. My 2nd son just got his college degree in Business from a great school and my 3rd is now a sophomore in college doing well. If you can afford it, do it. No matter the religion, race, color or gender. They'll be accepted at Bancroft.
I’m the parent of two graduates and I am very pleased with how well Bancroft served both of my children. They were very well prepared for college, but more importantly, they learned who they wanted to be. The faculty are caring and student focused. The academics are first rate. The Upper School students are a nice group of young adults. My children took part in the award-winning theater and competitive Speech programs, but the Robotics Team is also very strong. Very importantly, after a few years of admittedly questionable leadership at the top, there is a new Head of School who is having a very positive impact on the school and where it is going. You can definitely feel the difference of this new leadership in both the students and faculty. My kids were prepared for college, known and cared for by the faculty, had opportunities to stretch themselves and grow into who they could be. Very glad I sent my kids there and they would definitely agree.
