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.

This high school needs to work on more effective ways of improving how different things work. They also need to search for better sport coaches and more funding. This school does however offer lots of good college classes that you can take for dual credit which is very beneficial for students wanting to go to college.

One of the best things about Anderson is that the care for their students. The administration is always trying to put on fun things to lighten the mood of the student population with events like pep rallies. One thing they could improve is commutation. I often fell like thing jump up on me because they didn't notify the student.

I graduated in 2022. I ran cross country. I left after my sophomore year to attend a technical school. However, I still graduated from Anderson. The experience overall, was pretty good. However, I feel as if some of the teachers were not the best at explaining things. Some teachers would seem to be unwilling to help or they would seem to get mad at you for asking. I personally have not had any teachers like that. However, I do know fellow students who said they had teachers like that. The school also did have problems with mice. I don't know if they still do, however. Other than that, the people were very nice. The food was good and the extracurriculars were pretty well funded.

My daughter is graduating and loves Anderson!!! She has taken 12 AP classes and has loved all of her teachers. She always felt close to classmates due to such close-knit 'AP-kids group', which is great!!

Everything feels bitter. Whenever I walk in the hallways from class to class it feels like my brain is floating back and forth. It is as though I am in a factory where I am made only to mechanically think

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...
