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.

There is no diversity at this school. The people are welcoming. However, their jokes can often be insulting to people with more liberal views. The students and very small town, conservative, and country.

It's a good school if your child is great at sports. Other than that, I've never experienced more bullying that hasn't been handled or even confronted with other parents. Maybe 2 or 3 good teachers. Many teachers teach off of quizlet worksheets, cheat and even join in and look past the ignorant raci...
