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 family has lived in Anderson township for a while, so me and my siblings all went to Anderson. The teachers and staff truly care about students and their family's, as many teachers recognize me and have conversations with me about how I am doing and how my family is doing.

Anderson really is a great school. I've had so much help with realizing the person I want to become and the person I am today. They provide so many courses and classes to help you prepare for college and going out into the real world, as well as helping individuals decide what they want to do after high school and who they want to be.

Personally, my experience at Anderson High School has been a great one. All the teachers I've had have been easy to work with, and have made it very attainable to achieve a good grade. I am involved with the orchestra and theater programs, and have enjoyed my time in those programs very much. I don't play sports, but I know all the teams are very well supported. The majority of the students at Anderson are very kind and welcoming, and everyone can find a place they fit in. I am definitely prepared and ready to move on to college because of my experience in College Credit Plus that Anderson made possible.

This was a great school for my son. All of the teachers were more than helpful and accomodating with my son's needs. My son was in a 504 for learning purposes and they handled it the most effectively we could have asked for. He had wonderful teachers and counselors making this possible. I think it's...

Anderson has a lot of flaws that they mask with their achievements. My sister was bullied throughout her time there and the school did nothing to help her. They are more concerned about families paying “fees” and if not paid they could not graduate. I understand that school funds are not close to wh...
