Charles R. Drew Charter School Reviews
Rating 4.04 out of 5 52 reviews
Charles R. Drew Charter in Atlanta, Georgia creates a learning environment for all types of people. The school uses project based learning (PBL) activities to help prepare students for the future. By applying multiple subjects into one group project, students are able to learn how to connect different ideas to create a final and published idea. Also, Drew's College and Career Readiness team works very hard to ensure that students are able to safely plan post-graduate school. Because the school isn't as large as other schools in the area, the College and Career Readiness team is able to offer more personal connections to students, going as far as recommending any specific student to a specific college or scholarship. Drew analyzes student's strengths and weaknesses to provide a better upbringing into adulthood and post secondary school.
I began here in 2nd grade and I've loved it ever since. The teachers are phenomenal and the students are much nicer than those at Decatur High. I'll be graduating in May 2022 and I'm thankful for all the opportunities Drew has given me. And because of the college counselors, I received a full-tuition scholarship!
Charles R. Drew Charter School is the school that I attended after my family moved from Charlottesville, Virginia. I've made lifelong friends and pushed through many personal challenges with the help of my school. It does lack in some areas, but it easily makes up for these shortcomings through the dedication of it's teachers and staff.
