GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

During my time at Charles R. Drew, a community has been built between me and with everyone in school. Our friends support each other and get us through tough times. The teachers will take the time to listen and build a trust between us. However, I believe that we aren't helped enough in college readiness. As someone who is going to be the first in her family to go to college, i hate how i have to fight to get information from administrators. That is something I hope to see changed.

My experience in Charles R. Drew High School is one to appreciate. Like everyone else, I've had my own uprisings and downfalls, but in the end, the school was able to give me an opportunity in education, making friends, and finding my identity.

Overall, my experience at Charles R Drew High School has been satisfying. The relationship between teachers and students tends to vary between each class, but for the most part, the teachers are very kind, supportive, and helpful.
