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.

I transferred to Andover High School from Phillips Academy. I absolutely love it. The people are so amazing and the teachers are so dedicated to their work and to each student.

Although I have often complained about the little things, I know that overall AHS is a good school to be at. We get a good education and there are opportunities for students to do practically anything they want after school. One thing I wish could be improved is the lack of preparation for our future. It would be beneficial to have a time/class where we're taught how to be adults in the world after we graduate. Things like how to manage finances and how to live on our own.

Andover High School is on a steady decline over the past 6 years. Four different principals, three different athletic directors and class sizes approaching 30 kids in some cases. The facilities are dated and are not adequate to house the almost 2,000 students. Girls sports and coaches are excellent...
