This is a school with tons of potential but functions at the lowest possible denominator. The parent involvement in regular and ongoing school activities is non-existent. To be a success this school needs a complete administrative overhaul from top to bottom.

I was a student the 05-06 and 06-07 year Honor Student. The school is very nice they have great teachers. I was on the Morgan 7th grade team and the Banneker 8th grade team. The Banneker team was like a big family. At graduation the teacher and the student cried because we had got so attached. After

So I would recommend parent and students don't be afraid to send/go to Drew because it is really nice and fun(for the students). Mr.Taylor(Algebra) is a good fun teacher. Mr.Long(U.S History) makes class interesting. Ms.Hall(Language Arts) a very nice lady that will teach you every word in the dictonary. Ms.Crawford(Science)will teach you everything about science.Drew Freeman is coming out. Read less

I've been at Drew-Freeman for a few years teaching and it's amazing to see some of the comments posted by parents. Teachers can only do so much.

My child s Drew Freeman experience has been bitter-sweet. She has been blessed with a few gifted, dedicated, knowledgeable teachers & mentors and cursed with a couple of teachers who seem only interested in disciplining an entire class for the actions of a few students. My opinion is that the principal

The school offers a wealth of resources that encourage academic and personal growth, but participation in quality extra-curricular activities is limited. Would I suggest Drew Freeman? -Probably not. I do think most of the staff tries to maximize the learning experience, given what they have to work with. The level of parent involvement is moderate. Read less

The Quality of the academic programs is what I believe to be poor. My son is in all honors courses yet the work he brings home is not challenging. I will say that the art program and instructor are superb. A vast majority of the parents are not concerned and when you try to be a concerned parent,
