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.

Anderson County does not have much diversity since it is located in rural Kansas. It also does not receive much funding in important areas such as academics and the arts, most funding is put towards sports. I lucked out and was able to have a few great teachers, such as my sophomore biology teacher.

Anderson County High School has a great culture. I have lived in Garnett my whole life. My mom has worked in the school district my whole life. School has been fun because I have been involved in my school for the last four years of my high school career. I have been involved in sports and Student Council. Some of my best memories of school have been in these activities. I am currently the Student Council President for my senior year. If I could change anything in my school it would be to get more students involved in school to make their high school experience better.

ACHS is a small town, small community school. It's great for farmers because we have a great FFA organization. Many of our sports teams go to state and we often come home with state titles. The teachers and staff are super kind and teach you more than academics, they teach you how to deal with hardships and problems of life. I recommend this school because of the small class sizes and high graduation rates.

Most of the teachers are fantastic, however the current principal at the high school is not kind or understanding to student needs. All the students are contained to the cafeteria until the bell rings and are forced to sit. My children have been told to 'sit down' like a dog multiple times already b...

I have never been around a group of students that are as considerate, caring and genuinely thoughtful. It is a testament to the people of Garnett and especially of the type of young people the get created by a great school. I am proud of the people my children are becoming as a result of the educati...
