Andrews Middle School is a great school. It is very clean, and the faculty is nice and at the same time disciplined. Renovations and additions to the school recently have made it the best school in Andrews. It lacks the safety that every school should have, but that is its only fault.

I think that Andrews Middle School needs to have more academic programs including Journalism, Spanish I and II, and home ec. My child does not need to be in the same classes twice a day (Language and Math).
