Anderson High School

This school is an excellent school. All of my teacher are caring about their students. This school is not an easy school. All of their classes are hard. I have been moved around the country a lots lately. I moved to 5 different high schools through out the country. So I can tell which school is good or worse.

If your child is EXTREMELY competitive and/or knows how to throw a football Anderson is an excellent school. If your looking for looking for an environment that encourages individual growth and a caring staff keep looking. My son has struggled both socially and academically for 2 quarters and the counselors can't even return a phone call. The teachers can just barely send an "oh well" e-mail. My daughter was a nervous wreck the four years she attended. Parent groups RUN the school on a first come first serve basis.

Anderson is still a decent high school but it is far from great. Lots of smart kids keep test scores high, but staff quality is mixed at best. Recent hiring policy appears to be based solely on minimizing cost and it is starting to show. The school building itself is below average compared to many other local schools. I am looking into options to pull my daughter out.

My child failed nearly every class at Anderson because they just couldn't teach. He's at Turpin now. He has better grades and is more challenged. The students at Anderson are bullies too.

This school gives enough homework and my kids do great here too.

The level of parent participation/enthusiasm is off the chart!!! I highly recommend Anderson High School. My 2 sons attended Anderson and now my grandson attends Anderson. The academics and the extracurricular activites, not to mention the parent participation, are excellent!!! Anderson High School is the reason I moved to Forest Hills Schools District!!!! As a 30 year educator (teacher/administrator), I know what I am looking for!!!!!

Parents get involved in ciriculum, provide a number of different subjects depending on interest - from advanced to special needs. Athletic program is good with a lot of involvement from parents as well

I would not recommend sending my child to this school. It seems the teachers who have taught there more than 10 years are 'untouchable' regardless of their actions, no matter how severe. Also, the attitude of the student body is very ignorant.
