Andress High School

I have had two children who have attended Andress High School. I also attended Andress High School and know first hand what the schools like. It has always had a bad reputation due to its location and diversity(the only diversity in El Paso at one time). Its really up to the parents involve ment and just keeping up in your childrens lives. Obvious answers to those of you who give one or two stars. Although, EPISD, not the school itself, needs to screen their staff AND COACHES much more thoroughly.

This school is headed in the right direction. Realistically, we cannot expect changes overnight. Great things are being done and will continue. One thing that has to be restored is pride. Having pride in your school and what it means to our community is vital. Be mature in your choices and your choices will pay off. GO EAGLES!!!

I'm a student at Andress HIgh School. We now have a new principal and since then i think our school has higher standards. We have improved majorly in our academics, sports, activities, and dicipline. We all get along very well and do take class seriously. We imporved drasticaly on our AYP. Our academics have also had a major change. If your child is failing at Andress maybe you as a parent should involve yourself instead of blaiming it on the school that 'you' enrolled them in.

Andress High School is a good school for academics and sports. We got to give it up to the teachers at Andress for making the students excell. Andress is also strong is sport especially basketball. I do reccomend Andress High School

Andress is a fine, quality school. Top notch teachers in social studies, science and math make it a solid academic school. Most teachers demand excellence and work, athletics is strong, especially football and basketball. Administration, though weak in the past, has stepped up, (new crew) and done a fine job. Lots of opportunities to keep up with assignments and homework.

I think Andress is an overall good school because, the teachers really try to get the students all the help they need. Most of the time it is the students who want to differ with the teacher and that is why they get a rep of being bad. Yes some teachers act like they don't care, but that is only a few. As for the administration, i beleive they are confused about what to do with all the conflicts within the student body. They will put in a certain consequence in effect yet never make it stick. So with the students and administration both being confused, the whole school is seen as not knowing how to control the kids. Parental involvement has grown this past year as i've seen it. It is a very good thing to let your child know that you are there for them!!!!!
