While I was a student at Anson High School. I went through many teachers in a single academic year; each year due to the rate at which they would quit.

Experience was good from 9th grade up until COVID-19. Thing could be better if the school interacted with the kids more and was really invested with us. Overall most teachers care more about the kids and want to help them other than just sitting around.

I wish I had the opportunity to attend Anson High prior to the end of my 11th grade year. Due to unforeseen circumstances I transferred during the end my 11th grade year. I feel like I would have had a greater opportunity to do better on my academics to help pay to further my education. I have had an amazing opportunity to form friendships and learn how to look up to teachers that I have formed a bond with. I will definitely miss seeing them and plan to keep in touch once I graduate 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...
