Great school system! My kids do not attend school there now but will soon. My kids go to school in Seminole. It will make you realize how good Andrews schools are.

Beware! Dont let your child attend this school! Kids are rude and disrespectful, dangerous school! Glad I resigned during the 2008-09 school year

The teachers at Andrews High are generally excellent, but in no way will this school prepare a student for college.

Andrews High School isn't just a school, its the community center. The teachers, students, and community are proud of the school and its history of success. Most of the student body is involve in some sort of extra extracurricular activities. The school may not be the best on test scores or at preparing kids for college, but it does well preparing kids for life. The school has an open, fun and ethnically diverse atmosphere that does things not possible in big city schools.

I went to Andrews High School and was pleased with my overall knowledge that I learned. The programs were great and the teachers cared about the students. I would recommend this school to other students and/or parents.

Andrews High School is not a very good school. The school itself is old and run down. The faculty is similar. It does offer many classes, and the extracurricular activities are fine. The school has basically no security, which is inappropriate when you consider the school doubles as a fallout shelter. The school is strict on subjects they should be lenient on, and lenient on subject they should be strict on.
