GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Andover high school thrives on sports and college readiness. There is virtually no diversity & no culture. The reason they are so successful in their college readiness is because they are quick to expel any student who doesn't adhere to their standards immediately. This is a very conservative school.

During my time at Andover High School, the thing I look back I'm most proud of is when I moved to Andover Minnesota in 10th Grade, from Grand Forks North Dakota. My dad had found a truck driving job where he did not have to Put too much of a strain on his body and could still support me and my younger step-siblings as he got older. I moved 3 days before school started. So on the first day I didn't know anyone, I was nervous and intimidated because Andover High School was much bigger than my old high school. I remember on my first day of school at Andover there was a pep fest, I was scared because when I walked into the gym I didn't know where or who to sit by, but I remember some kids seeing me and signaling to come sit with them. by them doing such a simple act made my day. as I look back, moments like that are just other reasons I'm glad I landed in Andover.

If you have the opportunity to live in Andover and allo...

We have unfortunately had a horrible experience with science. The lack of experience here has been evident on a daily basis. Very unprofessional and inappropri...
