The best part of my experience was for one making great relationships with my friends and teachers . Also when I was playing softball my sophomore and junior year making new connections with my teammates and coaches. The worst experience I had was when we were dealing with online work not having teachers it was kind of challenging for me . Me personally I just don't think I would change anything besides who I call my friends everything was a lesson and was just getting me ready to be the woman I will be in the next few months. So I would love to thank anson high school for everything!!

There's not that much that i've liked through my 3 years at Anson high school. I feel like they could be doing way better academically if they were to hire some better teachers that actually care about their students. I feel like the schools athletics are worst than most other schools that its around , but thats not anything the administration can control. As for the administration, they get their jobs done and they do an ok job at it. I feel like one of the administrators does their best to make things right. This is my story about how i see Anson high school.

The disappoint in this school does not even grant it 1 star but that is the lowest score I could give it. Resort to this high school as a last resort, the environment is less than friendly, the education that is being taught is less than mediocre, the diversity in curriculum and people and minimum....

I am so disappointed in this school. I graduated from this high school and it seems to have hit rock bottom. The leadership at this school is horrible. The kids feel as though they are in prison! If my child could quit school right now and get away with it, he would. I don't think any of the teacher...
