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.

My experience at Andover High School has been good. There is a lot of diversity at AHS as well as a wide variety of sports, clubs, and extracurriculars. I would like to see more available help with the college process as well as for schoolwork. The best part of my experience was when recently, we got an emotional support dog that makes the school 10x better.

I have enjoyed my high school experience at Andover High School so far. I have had mostly all good experiences with the teachers and my peers. They have offered many info sessions and meetings regarding the college application process which has been helpful. It would be nice if there were more clubs and stuff that were serious.

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...
