Very poor. This school spends almost $17,000 per student, has high paid teachers which don't translate into better teachers. The only thing important is money. Your kids are better off in Mount Vernon or Oak Harbor or private. Beware!!

This is a very white rich town in which bullying is rampant. Being a minority in this school district is difficult.

The only issue the admisntration has is to generate more money

This is a one size fits all school.

If you are a minority do not send your children here.

I really enjoy it here. The classes arent always the most exciting, but the teachers have really great personalities and usually try to make the learning activities fun. Most of the teachers are not burnt out on their jobs, which is also good.

Such a disappointment, I moved here thinking oh has great schools and what a fool to believe this, this school is way waaayy lay back, my kids usually where in 4 AP wich they were having great results with a lot of hard work here they don't even have many of the AP and they don't even motivated them to take them the only GPA that counts is the un weighted and every body is gonna graduate with the same color they award people who do not even do well other kids just said just take a bunch of arts and you"ll make it. Don't worry you can graduate with less than 24 credits!! Sad!!

Anacortes has some excellent teachers....... Some are not so excellent. The classes can be really easy and tedious, but the clubs, sports, and other extra activities definitely make up for it.

My 7th grader just entered AMS and loves school. We just moved to Anacortes and it has made a difference in his life. I see him with more passion and drive than he had last year.

I have never seen a small school with so many exceptional teachers. My children have been well prepared for the world and for college. I am very happy with Anacortes High School
