APS Communications

Andover Public Schools (APS) is dedicated to providing creative and high-quality instruction that educates the whole child to prepare students for success in college, career and life. We are known for rigor and excellence in academics, arts, science, and athletics.

APS is focused on world-class, child-centered excellence from preschool to graduation. We have one preschool, five K-5 elementary schools, three middle schools, and a senior high school. 

Andover prides itself as one of the highest performing school districts in Massachusetts, with a current total school enrollment of approximately 5,600 students. We place a high value on class size and our students enjoy one of the lowest class sizes in the area.
