I enjoyed Andover High School, mostly because I was allowed to do PSEO, college for free during high school, while participating in the concert orchestra and outdoor adventures classes. I personally did not like the environment at Andover high school, most of the people my age were preppy or acted like it. So, some teachers assumed we were all like that. I also did not like how much of a tole the popularity of one's parents played an effect in sports, schooling, and scholarships.

Coming from my middle school Andover Highschool was a blessing to my education. I had fantastic teachers and opportunities. However my one problem was with how little they tried to encourage activities like speech or debate - these activities vital for the future and things the school used to be good at
