Wakefield High School has made me learn a lot and has prepared me for my next steps into the real world with sports, classes, real-life experiences, etc. Some things are annoying though like teachers discriminating against you, bullying and more.

I enjoyed my time at wakefield, I do believe some areas could use some improvement! The staffing is selected with care which leads to most of the teachers genuinely investing in the students!

Overall, I feel like I've had a solid high school education with enough opportunities for enrichment. I feel that I am prepared for college and post-high school life. I would like to see teachers more supported so they are not so burnt out. Also, counselors tend to focus on the needs of students at risk for not graduating, so those of us who do well in school don't get as much guidance.
