Anderson Junior High School

My son attended AJHS from Kindergarten through 9th grade. It was a great experience for him. The teachers are not only great instructors but they are also very caring. Anderson is like a family. Everyone knows everyone there and students have a feeling of belonging. He left Anderson and attended a large high school of which he had no problem whatsoever with adjusting to the large classes and curriculum. Anderson is a wonderful place for students to get the individual attention that they need to nuture their development.

I have to say that coming from a larger city and much larger school that it was a big change. Anderson teachers are wonderful, caring people who genuinely love what they do. I love the extra attention that my child gets from the smaller class sizes. My only drawback with the school is the Principal, Mr. Peoples. He chooses to enforce some of the rules and regulations, yet lets others go. I watched to girls, probably 10 yrs or so get on the bus and you could see their underwear, not only could I see but the boys getting on behind them also could. I think that in order to provide a decent, undistracted learning environment that this needs to be dealt with. I think that it's so wonderful that he promotes prayer and all, that is one main reason that we are there, but lets do it right. Concerned Parent

This was my son's first school year and I am so happy I choose to send him here to AJHS. He is doing so well in Kindergarten and I believe its because the classes are not overcrowded which gives the Kindergarten teachers more time to focus on each child's own individual needs. Not only are the kindergarten teachers nice, the enitre school welcomes everyone with open arms. And Mr.Peoples (the principal) is truly a kind man who listens to everyone's needs and does what he finds is best for everyone. This school is excellent and I highly recommend it to any parent who wants their child to strive in life. I give it an A+ all the way!

Go rebels. The ajhs staff and students as well as the pto are #1. Great interest in the students and the well being of the school. You can't get any better teachers, students or parents than we have at ajhs ! for the one who stated that the school was mediocre.....We'll .....Maybe you didn't give it a try or you needed the big school atmosphere. Either way it is sad that you couldn't have a great school experience like the majority of the students do, that attend and have attended ajhs. Rebel spirit....Rebel pride.....To all the others we say good-bye.!

Both of my children now attend AJHS. Not only are the staff and students there great but the skills learned are even better. You are getting the private school setting for free. Don't knock it till you've tried it. My oldest child is now doing better than ever and not having to be under the stress that some other schools place on their students. It has been a blessing to our family and my sanity! GO REBELS!

Blah, blah, blah, Anderson is now and always will be mediocre (unless, of course, it gets worse).

I do not agree that Anderson is mediocre by any stretch of the imagination. My child, in the seventh grade, has attended Anderson since kindergarten, and has always loved it. I would recommend this school to any parent who wants their child to receive the attention and the education that he/she deserves.

I think Anderson Junior High is mediocre in every way.
