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.

As a senior of Andover Central High School my experience with the school has been excellent. The students of the school were extremely welcoming and supportive when I transferred into the school. The facilities and teachers are amazing and there is a variety of classes to choose from that can range from Algebra to baking classes and investing and personal finance classes to prepare you for budgeting in your college life. There was even a seminar to help students like me to prepare for college and to help me apply for Universities and scholarships. They even are starting a piloting program within all seminars to help prepare students from freshman year to senior year for University.

It is a good school for academics. There are some teachers that do not really teach however. I've had some instances where my race was made fun of or just people being rude in general. The teachers are mostly nice. I would like to see some change with diversity. Clubs associated with diversity are not popular or well known in the school.

Andover central is a very sports focused school. In order to feel challenged academically I took accelerated, honors, AP, and college classes. There are some great teachers and some that are ok. The class structure is different for all the teachers
Honestly, my experience with this school was horrible. They try taking away privileges from everyone, when only a few people messed up. They try to control every aspect of every little thing, and when one person violates one small thing, the whole school has to suffer with them. Instead of taking ca...
All they care about is test scores and Stepford children. They'd sooner get rid of your kid then help your kid. Heaven forbid test scores get lowered! Biggest mistake ever moving here!
Excellent school, excellent teachers. Administration that cares. Firm but fair disciplinary structure. Kids are allowed leeway but faculty clearly in charge of their classrooms. Achievements are a matter of public record....students perform extremely well on standardized tests. Numerous extra-curric...
