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!!

I think my school is a great school considering we are in a small town and have limited funds. My high school gave me the opportunity to work with machines that a lot of other high schools, even colleges don't have. I would change the help that the school counselor have provided for me and others. I wished that she could had given us more information before the beginning of our senior year.

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...
