GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Anderson - Shiro is a very small school. The good thing about it is that you get to know everyone and have close bonds. I will have life long friends due to this school. The only thing I would change about Anderson High School would be adding more electives. Our electives are very limited and classes fill up.
