Charles R. Drew High School - Riverdale, Georgia

I would like to express my concerns with the ongoing bullying that is at this school. My daughter was a victim of bullying from several students for more than 2 months. On October 24th 2017 the student decided to take the verbal assault to physical assault against my daughter. As a result my daughter sustained a kick to the eye with possible long term damage. I am now demanding that my daughter receive an enforcement officer escort her to each class to protect her. The issue with the school is how they handled the prior incidents prior to the assault. As a parent we send our children to school thinking they are protected but my daughter was not and for that reason I cannot recommend Charles Drew High School to any parent living in Clayton County that has a 9th grader to start or finish at this institution.

Drew is a good school but it has it's up and downs. The administration is mostly great but when the new administration leaders came in they tried to change everything. Besides that drew have good sports but not all the sports have money. I can't wait to graduate next year though. Class of 2015.

Horrible school. Teachers are there to collect a check! Its ruled by gangs. They are always fighting and kids are never in class. Keep your kids away from that school. The staff teacher principal... None of them have control over the school. If u want your kids to get a safe and proper education DONT SEND THEM THERE!!! ITS NOT SAFE

Oh my god that place was a nightmare. I graduated 2012 and I had been there since it opened my sophomore year. Every class was practically an all out war between teachers and students for control of the classroom. As a result, instead of what was supposed to be a "higher learning experience", it was often just long hours of busy work. Honestly, that wasn't much different from the surrounding schools (RHS, MHS,MZHS).
As a vocational school, it was severely lacking. Culinary arts, medical training and architecture were the best they could offer us. No psychology, sociology, shop, cosmetology or home ec classes. It was practically a Fisher Price Devry Institute. Our foreign language options were French or spanish, no options for Latin or any other language.
In all fairness, my graduating class was very much akin to the firstborn child of an under prepared couple. They did their best, but I sincerely hope they can do better for their future children.

its a very nice and big high school and the teachers are very helpful, its a 2 story school...and the best part is you on your own for example: you don't have walk in a line when the bell rings you just get up and go to the next class, in the
lunch room you can choose want, you have 4 choices its great af..and thats what i have to say about this great. the high school dont fight no food fight ever body matured😏

I pray over my son going to and coming from that school. From what I hear from him, there's gangs, pregnancies, drugs, fights, smoking, drinking, and sex in the school. Where's the school cameras?! Parents should start asking for videos when things happen inside and outside of the school.

Lord knows, I got to GET HIM OUT OF THERE ASAP!!!!!!

If you can help it DO NOT send your child to this school! Fights every week, gangs and most of the teachers don't care about the students.
