6/28/2025
The best parts about Wakefield were definitely, the people that surround me through my high school years and the opportunities I was given too. The worst parts were sometimes the work load. And we have had some bad lockdowns but overall the school has kept us safe with the good administrators and police force already at the school.
6/17/2025
The overall experience was very good, although as with any school, there were some really great teachers and some no-so-great teachers. My daughter was able to take many AP and Honors classes, which helped her get accepted into colleges.
12/19/2024
It's a diverse and good school. They keep you informed with emails. The signin/signout could be better. Lots of clubs to join to find your right group. Just needs a step team that's more towards step less toward cheer.

My experience at Wakefield High School was terrible, teachers don’t care about anything but their paycheck.

We have been at Wakefield High School for 3 years now with our oldest and are truly enjoying it! The Wakefield schools are located in the heart of a beautiful and supportive community in north Raleigh. There are numerous rigorous course offerings and more club offerings than you can count. They rank...
