About Our Community
Nestled in the rolling hills and forests of eastern Allegany County, the community of Andover boasts having the best of both worlds, making it the ideal place to raise and educate children. The Andover Central School District enjoys strong academic programs and clean, healthful, rural living, yet is close to cultural attractions they don’t have, such as museums and universities, (ex. The MostArts Festival at Alfred University). The District enrolls 258 students in Universal Pre-K through 12th grade with a staff of 74. Residents take great pride in their school and have expectations for student achievement which is evidenced by yearly support of the $9.3 million school budget. The small, rural public school has a private school feeling tha t provides small class sizes and strong academic achievement. The District’s
mission is to educate and graduate productive members of society with 21st century skills.
