Ipswich High School Reviews
Rating 3.8 out of 5 56 reviews
The best thing about Ipswich High School is the culture. Many teachers who have worked in other schools around here have said the same thing but its true. The culture is to strive. Most of the people who graduate Ipswich move onto higher education. The culture is to succeed in academia. Its cool to be smart, its cool to have a good GPA, its cool to be involved. That's the best part. Realistically, there is very little to complain about. Other than average public school stuff like bad computers and no AC but people can get over that. But one thing that does cripple some people is the credit boost that the music department offers. By taking band you are enrolled in a 7 point class which skyrockets your GPA, its practically impossible to have a higher GPA than someone who takes band. But this could just be my jealousy talking when I quit in the 5th grade. But I didnt know back then the impact it would have down the line.
Great community with amazing teachers and faculty! Students are well prepared for higher-ed & their bright futures. Student services however could be a little better, and more accessible to all students, but for the most part they are okay.
I love the positive and supporting environment of Ipswich High School. All my friends and teachers are enthusiastic about education. The administrators also promote a fun and involved learning environment. I was able to balance my extensive involvement in sports and clubs with my rigorous courses. The only thing I think IHS could improve upon is teaching their students about the importance of finding your passion. I felt like a lot of people over involved themselves with activities they didn't actually enjoy just to put them on a college resume. I would have liked to be encouraged to pursue a few specific areas of interest, rather than being pressured to join every club and take every AP class. But overall, I loved high school, and I couldn't be happier with my experience at Ipswich High.
