My whole high school experience is filled with unnecessary classes that do not prepare you for college and provide busy work. There is a few exceptional teacher's who really help shape you into who you are, but they are having trouble keeping the good teachers. The teachers give a lot of homework, and do not take personal lives into account.

so far my time at this school has been awesome all the teachers are very nice and good at teaching, i have yet to have nay bad experiences with anyone here yet

overall the students respect one another and collaborate when it's needed. The teachers also respect the students and make sure that school is a place where the kids want to be. The teachers and staff make the school welcomeing environment and provide materials to see the kids strive. I would say the worst part of the school is feeling like i don't fit in anywhere, yes, the school is very welcoming and try their best to make sure everyone is included, but ayer shirley is a small town and there isn't much kids to choose from to be friends with that aren't already part of a group or "click" the school lunch options are also not vegan or vegetarian free. the kids who need certain kuch options aren't accommodated

Excellent. My son has done very well. He has a strong interest music and there is a strong arts program. Faculty and guidance have worked as a team to enable this. His standardized test scores are strong and the faculty has been great.

I've had two daughters graduate from Ayer Shirley Regional High School and they both had overall great experiences. They participated in AP classes, theater, music, athletics and robotics. I love that the school is large enough to offer many sports and activities but small enough that the competitio...

First of all! Let me just say this school has been the worst school I've ever been to! It's chaos! The teachers choose favorites, some treat us like little kids and some of them have the I don't care you figure it out kind of attitude! A lot of the students here are snobby, rude, petty and can start...
