My school has provided me with many useful skills to further my education. The coaches for the sports teams are very encouraging and really want whats best for there athletes. The teachers are always willing to stay after school to tutor and they understand how high school can be challenging for some teenagers.

One of my favorite things about Wake Forest High School how motivating the teachers and administration are. They truly do all they can to help all the students succeed in academics and connections.

I have had a great four years attending Wake Forest High School I haven't been involved in much other than theatre and technical theatre but even that alone has given me so many friends and a place I feel safe and comfortable and creative. As far as the rest of the school I have always struggled to learn but since attending here most of my teachers have taken the time to really help me and make everything make sense to me and now I have mostly A's is all my academic classes and I've even been encouraged to take honors and AP classes that I have also done well in. Overall I've enjoyed my four years of high school and I feel very prepared for college .

I spent all 4 years at this high school, and my experience is kind of iffy. Yes, there were some good teachers, but other teachers at this school were horrible. The teacher's use some of the same methods of teaching that were used during the covid years, just showing videos and not explaining or goi...

I do not attend but from the outside looking in it seems that the school and school board are doing well and have handled the last few challenging years with caution and safe practices. I appreciate that.
