Please reconsider sending your child here unless you work for the school. In my opinion, there were certain aspects better than public school, but many aspects where public school is superior. Diversity is an issue. Teachers are generally paid less than the surrounding public schools. I regret sending my children here and feel it was a monumental waste of money.

so far we have been very impressive with the caliber of academics and teachers at Wakefield. My husband went there and we wanted my daughter to have a great experience in High School. It has been a great year to date.

We are in our 3rd year at Wakefield and could not be happier with the environment, academics, and the quality of relationships between parents and teachers. I do not know why the other 2024 reviews have been so negative- we do not have and have not had that same experience. We came to Wakefield from...
