School Overview

Drew High School sits in Riverdale, a working-class community just south of Atlanta where families are deeply rooted and community pride runs strong. The school serves a predominantly Black student body and has a history tied to civil rights legacy — named after the pioneering surgeon Charles R. Drew — which gives it a sense of purpose that goes beyond test scores. Families who value that cultural connection and want their kids close to the energy of metro Atlanta without being in the city itself will find Riverdale an affordable, accessible place to put down roots.
