I loved this school so much before I moved. Annandale high school is organized and their cleanliness is on the top, another reason why I loved Annandale high school was the diversity and the clubs such as Korean clubs and Japanese clubs. The counselors are very trustworthy, they care about your mental health, the faculties are very friendly, the bathrooms are nice and clean all the time. The teachers actually care about the students and can teach perfectly fine. For me this school is a 5 star

Total chaos with current principal derose and his administration. Crowded classrooms, some with no heat or air, unsafe halls, bullying in cafeteria. Teachers care, some more than others, but some good ones have left and so many seem stressed out and unhappy. Feels like school is coming apart. So gla...
