They are not well organized,, they have a rule that kids should wear black and white for graduation, and tell you a few days before, doesn't even give you time to look for one. So if your son/daughter is gona graduate from here just make sure their graduation attire is back or white or they won't let them walk the stage .

To be honest this school was amazing! As a 8th grader coming here they are allowing us to pay to go on field trips not by the district but by the school! Sadly it is after the SBAC but that does keep you're blood boiling. It encourages you to behave well. I would rate this school 8/10 the missing 2/10 were some teachers and staff acting up, but ignoring that this is a GREAT school, they do open house raffles, activities on occasions and have been doing better than the 2000's! This is one (currently) is my FAVORITE SCHOOL!!! >:"D

I was a teacher at Charles Drew Middle school for eight years and during that time I saw many good things going on. Like all institutions you will fnd both good bad.. Some of the views expressed by some fail to take into consideration the variable involve in evaluation education,for example some of the best teacher that I worked with in my 23 years of teaching was found at Drew,especially in the sixth grade,but school teachers are not the only ones that make a school good or bad.(my name is Mr Scrutchions)
