I have loved being a part of Wakefield. It is a very tight knit community and being a Warrior is truly being part of a family. I have received an amazing education and have gotten the chance to be a part of and create my own clubs. I have also been able to participate in sports and have found some of my best friends through those sports.

I love the diversity of the students, administrators, and teachers, how this allows a unique experience in learning new cultures and being exposed to different traditions. I am not a fan of our terrible sports teams, how football never wins especially. I would like to see more funding from the county, especially because other aps schools that are majority white are given lots more funding than us.

It's a good school. The teachers are fair and most do care about their students. Wakefield is a decent high school.
