My child is in 7th grade at this school and so far so bad. Homework can take weeks to be graded at this school so it’s hard to differentiate what’s been turned in or not on Parentvue. This is frustrating as a parent who wants to make sure their child stays on track with their assignments. Some but not all teachers seem to take a hands off approach to learning. They have the children read a handout or book and then pass out homework. When my child asks questions about the work the teachers seem bothered. This is very uninspiring and shows laziness amongst educators at this school. I ask my child almost every day what they learned in class and the answer is almost always the same. “Just the same ole stuff.” Anything new and exciting? His answer, “No.” I won’t mention any names but the English and Mathematics Teachers should really consider whether or not they are in the right field of work because it seems they don’t really care about the success and progression of their students. I’ve had a parent, teacher conference with the Principal present and promises were never kept about making things better than what they have been for my child. If you have a choice please don’t choose Edward Drew Middle School for your children.

My child was sexually assaulted on their watch and they handled the situation horribly. They are still very much punishing the victims, not the perpetrators.

we have lot of freedom at this school and I love it here and I never want to leave this school!!!!
