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.

I had a good experience with Wakefield High School. Certain teachers were excellent. I loved participating in FBLA, Speech, and One-Act. There was a good amount of dual-enrollment classes offered.

Our school has not had any major threat or local threat towards it. If anything did happen they took care of it before anything got out into the public or it got out of hand.
