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.

Ansonia High School has bad lunch options, doesn't take care of their building enough, and doesn't have the best sports programs. It does have good diversity, a good bunch of teachers (except a couple), and a good student body that comes together to support the sports. There are free opportunities to take ap and ece classes here as well.

Educators are more interested in their paycheck, cliques, & the pigskin than teaching the students. On behalf of my parent with regret, I graduated from this system in the la...
