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.
... Read more 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!!!!! Read less

I would not recommend this school to any parent unless you are willing to to be involved 100% in your childs Education. You must understand the path your child needs to take for graduation, and keep them on that path. I had to correct the counslers on more than one ocasion. You must understand

Attendace office personnel 4. Your childs teachers If my child missed school for any reason I would get at least two phone calls, one would be from the attendance office and the other would be from one or more teachers. I would also inform them in advance if my child had to miss school. You should do this at any school but at Andress High it's a must! Read less
