We moved to this area because Anderson is one of the top performing schools. It seems to have the childs best academic interests at heart. The attendance office is staffed by incredible people. The registrars office, however, is staffed by people who treat kids with zero respect. You are greeted there with sarcastic remarks instead of helpful advice. These are children who need guidance, not disdain.Some teachers are incredibly inept to teach high school children, and so they do not. They hand out packets, tell the kids to study, then test them based on the students ability to teach themselves.Your kid is out sick with the flu, they get a note from the dr, but because they are out longer than 2 days, the note is not excepted. So, they have to make up all the class hours they missed by giving up their lunch hours, EVEN THOUGH their work is made up within the first two days back. Money is a priority here, and it is proven when the student checks into a principles office to eat, so that their make up time is actually recorded. Its stressful for the student and frustrating for the parent.Students are threatened that they will not pass to the next year if they do not do well enough on a Standardized test, even incoming students, like refugees. The kids are completely stressed out and it is RIDICULOUS to scare them like that. Come on!Dont get me wrong. A lot of the teachers here really enjoy what they do, and they do an awesome job inspiring the kids. The physics and engineering teachers are great. Some core curriculum teachers really invest in your student to see that they succeed, not just for a test, but for a better understanding of application.The selection of plays and productions offered by theater department are outstanding, but when kids are reduced to frustrated tears because a teacher decides you are not worth her time, what can you do? Rudeness and sarcasm have no place in teaching kids. You are touching the future through these kids. Relax and enjoy this privilege, if you cant, then move on.

I really like some of the teachers here. Some enjoy what they do and have not lost sight of why they began teaching.However, had I known how incredibly broken the system is at this school, I would never have sent my child here. I have observed office staff treating the kids (you know, their customers?) with rudeness and sarcasm. In the next breath, they turn to the adult with fake enthusiasm and insincerity.There seems to be a lack of fun at this school. There are no dances, except homecoming and prom. The students morale is low. You can feel the stress and anxiety just walking into the building. (I loved my high school, mainly because the teachers actually enjoyed teaching. It was tough, but the faculty and staff were the best part of our day. They actually cared about US, not numbers.)The attendence policy is a joke.Half the time the kids are left to teach themselves, from packets, especially in some of the AP and STEM courses. The theater teachers are moody, going from being constructive to all out verbally abusive within moments.Straighten up, Anderson. You are better than this.

I have been at Anderson for 3 years now and I like it. I have had great teachers all 3 years and they really work with you to make sure you pass. Anderson is a pretty nice environment, it is true the school is very old and kinda wore out but they are working on making the campus look better.

The stem building is state of the art, everything else kinda sucks, but half my classes are in the stem building so good for me I guess.

Here I got my diploma. I was very excited and satisfied with the knowledge I gained. Very nice football field. The teachears are great.

Excellent academics aside from the English department. Totally incompetent administration, and the misappropriation of funds is rampant. For example, fine arts receives 7 times the funding as STEM. Do yourself a favor and send your kid to Westlake.

Cong is such a cutie! He taught me how to make a crispy waffle!

Until Donna Houser is out of commission, I wouldnt recommend sending your kid here. She likes to take every bit of fun out of the school. There is no school pride because she has taken every Anderson tradition away from the students. Her motto is one bad apple ruins the whole bushel. Her focus is having a good image, yet her words to not represent her actions; Dont judge a person by their words, yet define them by their actions. Anyways, the kids are fine, theyre smart and well rounded. Teachers are astounding and the academics are challenging but advantageous.

I DELEON JARMON IS A 1983 GRADUATE AND MY SISTER MONICA RENAE JARMON IS ALSO A 1985 GRADUATE AND ANOTHER SISTER SHARON BYRD IS ALSO A GRADUATE THAT STATED MONICA JARMON AND DELEON JARMON IS NOT RELATED TO HER AND TO MARGARET JARMON BORN 1938 IN BASTROP, TEXAS. WHY SHARON ELLERBE STATED THIS IN COURT ON MARCH 26TH 2018 AT 2 PM CONCERNING MRS ALTA BYRD ESTATE 2201 E. 17TH STREET AUSTIN, TEXAS 78702.

So far pretty okay school experience.

Anderson High School. As a sophomore here I can clearly say this school is awful. Not because of the students but because of the teachers. Oh great some student complaining about their teachers! Actually Im not complaining, Im begging the school to hire better teachers in the CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT. If you ask any sophomore what pre-ap chemistry is like, they should answer with, you mean the class I have to teach myself? The class where all three pre-ap chemistry teachers give powers points that you must teach yourself to do the homework? The class where studying for another class is considered disruptive and even after a quiz or post lab and you have nothing to do and you decide to bring out a WHAP book or a quizlet, your notebook, WHAP book, phone, dignity, and confidence will get taken up(reference to gnoC iuB). Well this review will probably get taken down by the administration office or something.

You think Murchison is a prison, you clearly havent been here. Very old building, prison like, not fit for 2,500 students. Principal likes to take all fun out of everything, and I MEAN EVERYTHING! One bad apple does ruin it for everybody else according to administration. All of the APs follow the bullsh*t rules, even knowing that they shouldnt be there in the first place. Theres also this other bullsh*t rule that school enforces, you miss 4 periods of any class(even if youre sick) and you end up with no credit for the entire class, it might be nice if they werent so hungry for money, trying to scare the kids from missing worthless classes .Most of the students/teachers/police officers are really awesome though. Dont send your kid for fun, send them to learn how to sit in a desk for 7 hours and follow orders from people they barely know.

The new buildings are great, however, the old building is falling apart and growing rapidly. We cant support 2,200 kids along with budget cuts.

Still in this school so not planning on putting a comment yet, but one thing i know is that i will make sure my brothers wont go to this school. For many reasons.

This place is a f**king prison. This b**ch doesnt have Windows. Waste of 4 years of my life. Ayyy but SEN1OR5 lmao

Really great place to send your kids to learn, but definetly go for IB. The building was designed in the 70s where they believed windows distract, so the building feels very prisony.

Loved my time here, Go Trojans!

They got no childrens card game or spongebob worshipping club

If you want to kill yourself, anderson high school is your best option, a slow & miserable death

So much better than hsana

A lot of students here are always on drugs even though there familys come from money. The sports programs are bad since 3 head football coaches have been fired in the past 5 years for money loitering

Yeah I havent really been to this school but I know it sucks.

Coach hall is great.

The teachers arent the best

Most Racist Highschool ever

Just saw a video of a teacher from this school shooting a water pistol a film of president trump and yelling die die in front of her students..

Great high school

Anderson = prison

Horrible teachers, and school.

Very responsive administration!

Love it!

Go Trojans!
