Located at 1910 W. Little York Rd., Drew Academy serves 500 seventh and eighth grade students. It emphasizes experiential learning in math, science, technology and fine arts, with a goal for all students to choose a specialized learning pathway and create a magnet portfolio.
Although Drew students scored slightly below the state average on most standardized tests, they scored well in Algebra 1. Overall, students are making acceptable academic progress.
After school, Drew Badgers can choose from a wealth of extracurricular activities. Multiple students win science fair, website design and video production awards.
Drew is well-known for its fine arts program and is one of the neighborhood schools a fine-arts-focused student should attend. Its theater arts students won second place in Aldine's Middle School One-Act Play contest, and a number of cast members received individual awards.
The most award-winning fine arts program at Drew is its Badger Dance Company. Winner of the Crowd Pleaser Competition and second runner-up in its division, the company is the Texas state champion in modern, novelty and contemporary dance.
Additionally, the school works closely with parents and the community and hosts a free community fair each spring.
