Overall the experience was good. I believe people should choose this high school no matter what. I had a great experience from football to baseball and everything else.

So far i've enjoyed my time at Andover Central. While there has been some questionable decisions made by staff the experience overall has been great. It is a very safe school with great teachers. I would like to see agricultural classes at Andover Central. That is a subject that I know a lot of people would be interested in.

Overall the teachers are fair and I have learned what I need to succeed. I enjoy my friends and teachers every day. The worst part was in 2021 when our school was hybrid because of Covid.

Achievements are a matter of public record....students perform extremely well on standardized tests. Numerous extra-curric...
