"A good school, but some areas for improvement"

We've been at Ipswich High School for a few years now and overall we're happy with the experience. The facilities are lovely and the teachers are generally good. However, we've found the communication from the school to be a bit hit-or-miss at times, and we've had some issues with the homework load. We're hoping these things will get ironed out as our child progresses through the school.

"Excellent education and values"

Both of my children attended Ipswich High School and I couldn't be happier with the education they received. The teachers are highly qualified and experienced, and the enrichment programs are fantastic. The school's values of kindness and community really stick with the children and help them become well-rounded individuals.
