For the third straight year, King/Drew Magnet High School of Medicine and Science has been awarded the Magnet School of Distinction Award by the Magnet Schools of America.

King/Drew and LAUSD have a policy of NO CELL PHONES. Cell Phones must be TURNED OFF and PUT AWAY out of sight during school hours starting at: 7:50am - 3:02pm This policy is in effect campus-wide. If such a device is observed by staff, during school hours or activities, it shall be confiscated until redeemed by a parent/guardian/caregiver or as determined by the school principal/designee.

The California Gold Ribbon Schools Award was created to honor schools in place of the California Distinguished Schools Program, which is on hiatus while California creates new assessment, accountability, and continuous improvement systems. 477 middle schools and high schools applied this year. Schools applied for the award based on a model program or practice their school has adopted that includes standards-based activities, projects, strategies, and practices that can be replicated by other local educational agencies. The award acknowledged elementary schools last year. The Gold Ribbon Awards recognize California schools that have made gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education. These include the California Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics, California English Language Development Standards, and Next Generation Science Standards.
