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.

Overall I have enjoyed my time at Wakefield Highschool. My time there really prepared me for my next steps in college. All of the classes and relationships I have made with my teachers really got me and on top for the next four years in college. I want to take my skills and incorporate it into my studies, and eventually get my pHD in Marine Biology.
