## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Shirley High - A Great Choice: I'm so impressed with the school's facilities, especially the green site which provides a positive and friendly learning environment for my child. The values of the school align with mine, and I love seeing the kids participate in the numerous programs they offer, including the Performing Arts College. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — Decent School, Room for Improvement: We've been at Shirley High for a year now, and while the school has its strengths (great facilities, nice staff), there are some areas that need work. Communication with parents can be hit-or-miss, and I've noticed some inconsistency in the way different subjects are taught. Still, overall I think it's a decent school and hope to see some improvements in the future. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education: My daughter attended Shirley High for 3 years, and I was blown away by the quality of education she received. The teachers were knowledgeable and supportive, and the school's commitment to arts education was a big draw for us. While there were some minor issues with communication, overall I'm very satisfied with the education she received. *(Jun 2022)*
