I graduated recently from the IB Diploma program. I found that anderson high school offered a great balance of challenging academics and support for students. In particular, I found the math and history departments amazing. I struggled with math at the beginning of high school, failing quizzes and tests frequently, but through the support of the teachers and their encouragement, I made it up to Calc BC with an A+ in the class and got a 5 on the AP test. In addition to that, the IB history department was so great and really prepared their students well for college and for the IB exams. I was a lazy student when it came to studying for my IB exams at the end of senior year, but because of the structure of the history curriculum and the challenging nature of the class, I got a 7 without much self-driven studying. Not that I encourage not studying, but the class itself was so interesting and valuable that the review materials that were offered by the class were sufficient studying for me. I also think the club and athletic scene at Anderson is really great. I encourage all students to get involved with a sport or meaningful extracurricular to really get the Anderson experience. I now attend a "public ivy" university and feel like Anderson prepared me really well for my classes and helped me learn a lot about myself and what I want to do. I will say that I don't know what it's like to not be an AP/IB student at Anderson, but from my experience the AP/IB classes were great and the teachers were really passionate and supportive.

I am a happy parents at Hill. Though, one major problem is homework. Me and my family feel that homework shouldn't be needed in elementary school. Children maybe be stressed, or may just not feel confident doing it themselves. One other problem is the school is majorly crowded, and the lunchrooms are really loud and and messy. I've seen lunch monitors put the table cleaner on the floor and re-use it. Other then that, this school is great and the teachers are really interactive.

It is a horrible school do not recommend just do homeschooling
