Overall, the school is pretty average for central Indiana. There are a lot of fights amongst students which has led to the faculty to become overly aggressive to even the tiniest of mistakes. The education you will receive will be okay, the high school is better than the K-8th education. The teachers understand and are overall kind. There are few teachers who are not nice at all. Most of them just need to retire.

Anderson Highschool to me is a good school with good teachers. The biggest problem with the school is the administration.

My overall experience at Anderson High School has been decent, but I believe it has many things to change. One of the things I think the school should change is their handles on it's classes and teachers. Often some teacher may quite due to bad payment and class management due to this many classes are even held up by subs or are completely shut down. Despite this going to Anderson has introduced me to many activities I didn't think i'd enjoy and has allowed me to make many great allies.
