(Rating: 5 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - As a former student i feel drew is an exceptional school. When i was going to the school i didn't feel that way but looking back i feel i was a lot better off there. I feel drew is a stepping stone for the people who want to make that drastic change to have a successful future. And most of all it's some of the teachers i have to thank for that motivation to strive & excel.

- My 2 children attend Charles R Drew Charter School. I think that Drew is a beautiful and well equiped school, however, the students need to be taught respect and effective communication. When you approach the cafeteria or the end of the day the school is so loud it is aweful. The teachers need to focus on the children indivisually and not treat them all as if they are the same. I hope with the new principal he can make some definite changes and focus on more important stuff than the kids shoes matching the dress code. Enrich this school please!!!!!!!!!!!
