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.

Great school with advanced studies, newer building then surrounding high schools.

While the teachers are phenomenal at this school the new administration is not. Unfortunately, as a result, many teachers are choosing to leave the school at the end of this year. It’s sad to see a school that was amazing two years ago sink to such a low level. When 20+ employees decide to leave something is definitely wrong.
