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!

If parents are willing to drive the extra distance, why wouldn't they be allowed to choose? Every school is not a match for every child and parents know their children best ... More »

Definitely! I believe that families should be allowed to attend any school they want, because there are some who went to a good school and parents want what's best for their kids. Even education.

Families should be able to attend any school they wish.
