GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Wingfield was bittersweet. I was happy to have friends that attended the same school as I. We are even friends until this day and I am glad I have that bond. The only concern I had was that they were starting to do things to prepare students for college but that is after I graduated which sucks. I felt like I was presented with somethings about college but not everything. I myself wish I was able to take dual enrollment and at least do cdc classes i feel that would have improved my way of college life.

I would like to see a positive change in the classrooms. Teachers should strategically combine several important factors. Like, recognizing student achievements and setting reasonable expectations.

I enjoy all the support I receive from every person on staff at Wingfield High School including the principal and janitors. I love how every adult there always has something positive to say even will going through this pandemic and virtual learning face. One thing I would like to see change is our attendance and graduating rate. It is not its best currently, and I know we can do better as a school.
