My daughter attends Drew Middle and we have been very pleased. She is an honor student, has been accepted into the TIP program from Duke University. Any time I have had any questions or concerns the faculty and staff have been wonderful. The teachers take great pride in their students, they really care. I would not even consider another school for her, and my younger daughter will be attending this school when she is older. There is not as much parental involvment as I think there should be, but unfortunately, this is a common problem everywhere.
