Drexel Hill Middle School

My experience at this school was amazing it was lovely

This school is cold and seems to be tired of progress.

We have had an excellent experience to date. My son has great, caring and INVOLVED teachers, communication between administrators, teachers and parents is great, the music program is *amazing*, and the electives and gifted program are fantastic. The only cons, I would say, is it’s a very large student body, but the district is addressing that, fighting to build another school so ALL of the children can be supported appropriately.

When reading these reviews, please take the ones written by kids with a grain of salt. As a parent ,I have found the most recent principal,Mr. Manfre, to be much more reasonable and approachable than the previous principal. He responds quickly to parent concerns and is eager to resolve issues.As far as Mr. Jordan for math, he was my daughter's favorite and most challenging math teacher,she has gone on to be at the top of her high school class,and though she does not LIKE math she excells in it .Perhaps the child who had complaints about him does not like to work hard and be challenged. This school has something for every child, challenging academics,excellent music,performing and visual arts opportunities,compassionate and knowledgable sports coaches, engineering team,playwrites class,character building classes and clubs... the list is too numerous to go on. It's like everywhere,if you have a child who wants to do well, they will flourish at DHMS !
