We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Wakefield High School is a small school, but has great teachers. There aren't many opportunities, but the education is great. The community is very supportive and Wakefield staff tries to help students as much as possible.

All of the clubs are easy to get into except a few. However, it is a great way to get involved. The clubs and organizations are great leadership opportunities for the students. Student council is one of the most rewarding clubs to join. The only after school activities are sports related. The sports teams are good, but could use some help.

Many teachers teach off of quizlet worksheets, cheat and even join in and look past the ignorant raci...
