Anderson County High School Reviews
Rating 3.33 out of 5 171 reviews
I liked the friends I made there and the opportunities that were offered to me by the school. A few downsides to the school is the constant racism, sexism, homophobia, and more that I've encountered. I think that the school should do something about how the students act sometimes instead of just ignoring it. But not only the staff need to be held accountable, but the students too. If a student witnesses another student or maybe even a teacher say something they shouldn't they should report it so it can be dealt with. But overall the school is a pretty great place to grow up with and Anderson county as a whole is a good place to settle down.
It's an okay school, it's not the best and it's not the worst. Most of the teachers are nice and do their job well, but there are some exceptions, like my AP Chemistry teacher who taught me absolutely nothing and slept during class. My AP Lit teacher is nice though, and she recently got a new job.
Then there's the students, and while 60% of them know how to act like decent human beings, 40% of them don't. They aren't very nice, to put it nicely, but a majority of the school is accepting and tries to make it equal, though sometimes that isn't always enough.
As for improvements, other than learning respect, I think the school needs a better budget. I understand that some things are out of their control, but having busted projectors and broken doorknobs for months on end is a little ridiculous. There are even ceiling tiles still missing from about year ago that haven't been replaced. It just needs a better environment, honestly.

My biggest Academic struggle throughout my lifetime has been my severe Anxiety Disorder's. My anxiety Makes it difficult to perform well on standardized tests and I have developed very poor social habits as well. However, Once I have been brought out of my comfort zone I tend to be able to adapt well, and I know for a fact that My grades Improve dramatically. Going to school at Anderson County has allowed me access to services that I need to be able to succeed. I am able to have a more structured routine, spend time on myself independently, and make connections with other students.
