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.

King/Drew can be a good school but the students make it bad. They have no respect for other students and teachers.

I would like to see change regarding the interactions between staff and students. My experience here has been alright, but sometimes the staff arent welcoming and they dont treat students with as much respect as I would like.

Honestly, it is one of the best schools to go to if you want to pursue a career in medicine or anything science related. They have a good variety of sports, the teachers are very cool some more than others and they support you throughtout the years you attend. The only thing that most students complain about would be the Uniform dress code. They are super picky about everything and its kind of annoying but overall it's okay.
