The building is awful, most of the bathrooms are either closed or the toilets don't work and my chemistry teacher is a nightmare

My overall experience with Wakefield Memorial High School has been good. I have made unbreakable bonds there and have also made countless memories. I have have a great education provided to me and I hope to further it in my college experience. I am sad to leave the school, but ready to start the next chapter of my life. I have been greatly prepared for my next steps and cant wait to see where it takes me.

I love the people. They all are polite and respectful of one another. I would change the administration and how problems are dealt with.

Its horrible! Front office staff are great, Mrs. Trafficanti is awesome, the resource officer is great, but the actual school day is very difficult for my child. She always txts me to pick her up. She is incredible shy and sensitive and doesn't do well with her math teacher screaming at her!!

3.0 student

4/30/2019

The school building is crumbling and conditions are gross. At least one-third of the teachers are selfish, self-centered with no clue how to effectively teach. The rare good teachers are amazing though, and the arts program can only be beat by those really rich schools.
