Bancroft has wonderful leadership and has really flourished as a neighborhood school. The engaged community is beautifully diverse and students really feel belonging and cared for here. We needed to change schools following the Mpls Public School's Comprehensive District Design in 2023 and were worried about finding community again -- but Bancroft was so welcoming from caregivers, to teachers, to the principal who really sets the example of what it is to be inclusive and create a healthy culture. We have had a great experience! Thank you to the dedicated staff, teachers, and families for creating an exceptional learning environment. (Powderhorn neighborhood family)

A very warm and welcoming school environment. The teachers and staff are all very easy to talk to and always are open communicating with parent about any concerns parents may have for their child. I was worried about my son being a minority and having difficulty at the school but it is very diverse. With the IB perspective in teaching and learning, it has been a great experience for my son to be a world thinker.
