Drauden Point is the best! Here we have a no bully policy that makes sure that all of their students stay safe and happy. The responsibility to help carry out this though is when students self report. Tech arts are not always going to be around in the hallways. Yes there are teachers you may not like but it’s important for us to learn we won’t always get our way. The fbi program for special needs kids is one of the best in my opinion. They get to have their own curriculum but still interact with everyone else. Yes, bad words are spoken but you can’t blame the school for that. It’s the parent’s choice to choose whether to consent or not. We have resources too. There is a NJHS supply closet with a bunch of extra school supplies when needed. ( I don’t know how if works exactly though) my overall experience was amazing and I am going to truly miss this place. **please don’t judge if I made a mistake in writing this, it’s hard to type long writings in a phone**

I am sorry to hear that people had bad experiences. I have had two daughters in this school and they had a pretty good experience. My first daughter loved the track team and was in the honors track. I will say that the bus situation was never the best. Bad behavior on the buses. My second daughter is now there in the FBI program for special needs and the teachers are fabulous. I agree that they work hard and treat the kids well. I am happy to report that they finally have a language program that is for 7th and 8th graders. Now we just need more technology. If you are having issues go above the administrator's head and that seems to help any issues along. I still have one more to go and I will do everything to ensure she has a great experience.

As a former 7th grade student and approaching 8th within the next week I have had some experience at this school. Personally I think the Teachers are great! Some may be a little hard on you, and some might yell at you. But, it is all for a good reason. Obviously the teacher would not be yelling at you unless you were doing something wrong. All those reviews out there from angry parents saying these teachers are horrible, you are terribly mistaken. I am not popular, I partake in any sports, I didn't wear all these revealing clothes, and I did not make bad personal choices. Yes there are some children out there who will do that and get recognition for it. But, I can assure you it gets taken care of. Yes, I am very unhappy about the language students have, and the fact it is not being delt with. But, us as students have to stand up for ourselves and everyone. We just have to take care of them ourselves. Some students are just ignorant and immature. There is nothing a Teacher can do about it. Trust me I have seen one try, but do you think they stopped? It just fuels their ignorance. Stop with all the bad reviews! This school is amazing, and these parents have not experienced Drauden Point like us students. I was never picked on by anyone at all, and I am not popular or Athletic. These kids at Drauden are very kind. There are just some kids out there who are going through something. So you have to man up and tell a Teacher. They will definitely deal with it appropriately. I have seen two kids who were being very innapropriate. Therefore I reported them to my Teacher, and in my opinion she delt with them perfectly. If you were reading this review to decide wether you should admit your child or not, if I were a parent I would. This is a very good school for education purposes, and to make new friends!

Good school, caring teachers. Many after school activities. Put in the extra effort when a student is struggling.
