[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drew supporters tell me, an UMC family about to be zoned from Henry/Fleet to Drew, potentially why I shouldn’t freak out? Convince me that this school will not just survive but excel? [/quote]

We are zoned Drew but go to Claremont. I don't know to be honest. I think the fact that they are actually going to focus on the traditional program now (since they have no other choice) is good because I do believe that is one of the reasons for issues they have been having. On a related note, the Drew student body has been very limited to neighborhood lower income kids. You change the student body you change the school. Rezoning is going to change the student body.

There are a lot of young families in Nauck and since they won't have the guaranteed option of Claremont this year (and may not have the option of Hoffman Boston) I think there will be a movement to start sending the kids there. There is a lot of talk at the park about sending the kids to Drew, but I don't know if it will actually happen...it just seems that people want it to happen (so maybe a bit of a good sign).

The school is very nice IMO, as are the grounds go. They also have a lot of activities and festivals.

I guess that’s the only way to do it - to force most of the choice options off the table. I assume Montessori will become really cutthroat, though, because some of those who will probably be rezoned are just across the Pike from the Henry site. [/quote]
