GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ive been attending Drew since 9th Grade. When I first started I was virtual so there wasn't much we could do over a computer. When I did enter the enter the school that next year the environment wasn't very welcoming, overall the counselors, and the staff were welcoming and as of right now I'm having fun at drew during my last year

Drew is a school that I have attended my whole academic career. It is a tight-knit community so I was able to connect with many people in my school. Drew academically prepared me to be able to progress with my education. I am extremely grateful to have been able to learn at Drew.

JA is not good, the new administration is making the school go downhill. Unorganized, a lot of room for favoritism, disconnect with the parents, unprofessional communication, they need a new principal with empathy. SA is excellent, unique program and strong leadership.
