I am a former graduate from Andalusia High School. My sons(two) graduated from Andalusia. Andalusia is one of the most classy, pride oriented, top notch schools in Alabama. The teachers, faculty/staff and administration do a great job at educating their students. The total school climate is 'academic

This school provides a variety to academic skills embedded with athletics. The students here are motivated to excell in both areas. It's competitive and has pride in every aspect. You won't get a better education in the surrounding areas. Those of you who feel that Andalusians are snobbs, well if they are(which they aren't) they are snobbs with class, pride, and a great education. If you can't best us..come on and join us!

I am a graduate of AHS as well as my son. My daughter is in the 10th grade. AHS offered me a quality education and a variety of extracurricular activities. That has not changed.

Just because your child hits 9th grade or begins to drive doesn't mean you should stop going to parent/teacher nights, ball games, plays, concerts, fundraisers, etc.... Our school has the best athletes and clubs around. We have to make sure that we as parents are standing behind the faculty, staff & our students to continue the AHS Pride. Read less

As a 1984 graduate, I am impressed with how far the school has come. My 2 youngest attend AHS and are active in clubs, band and sports. After moving back after 15 years away I was worried about how my kids would be accepted and they have been treated very well by the kids and faculty. I am greatly

AHS is a decent school to attend if your parents make $80,000 a year (in a city in which the average salary is $17,500 per year), but forget it if you have a single parent making minimum wage. The teachers and faculty didn't seem to understand when I went there that some students are poor (despite city

In fact, I once knew a group of kids who had to drop or avoid classes due to the fact that the course(s) required too much computer work-seeing as though they were too poor to afford one and that the libraray computers are virtually inaccesible. On the lighter side, compared with big inner city schools the violence is marginal and the drug problem is as well. Furthermore, racial violence is also at a minimum, the teachers are great, and the students are smart. Read less

Every teenager i talked to, hated going to andalusia b/c the kids there are so snobby, and very bad at football.
