Andover Central is fantastic school. People are very welcoming. There are many amazing teachers and great classes and opportunities. Sports have great coaches, the arts provide shelter and belonging, and the school is overall filled with people that show how much they care for their fellow Jags. Many teachers have joined together to serve as an outlet or safe space for students. At Central we understand that life is hard especially as a teenager. Through hardship our school has stuck together and has only become stronger. Aside from all the good, of course there are some down falls. It is normal! Such as a few number of poor teacher, peer pressure, and etc. Overall, everyone and everything (including school) are a part of something that creates unity and belonging.
This school is among the best schools in Kansas and very well established in the general Wichita area. Opportunities granted by school are plentiful, and the support the school and community invest much into education.
The school could improve in a couple key points. Namely, the turnover rate of teachers is much greater than I would have expected from a desirable location. This is especially crucial in the Science and English departments.
Furthermore, the setup for clubs/activities is, frankly, atrocious. Clubs are integrated into school time and only meet 2 times a month for an hour. Students are only allowed to choose one club- hindering the potential to develop other interests as an overwhelming amount of clubs do not host meeting outside of school hours.
To leave off on a positive note, the activities of band, journalism, and theatre are deeply cared for. Sports do well here and go to state.
Andover Central is a very good school that you can place trust in.

Andover Central High School is one thing I will never forget. From the college readiness to the staff no one is alone. The course is very well structured and the teachers working additionally with each student that needs assistance. Andover Central offers clubs, extracurricular activities, and music or art performances. With high rankings nationwide and a family for life, Andover Central High School is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone.
