Once the Charles R. Drew Elementary School

The Charles R. Drew Elementary School was built in 1952 at 3724 Warren Street. The L-shaped brick building was typical of schools built in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The Drew School was closed in 2013 and sold to Drexel in 2014 as part of the University City High School deal. In its final year, the school served 313 students in grades pre-K through 8. Ninety-eight percent of its students were minority (majority African American).
