Both of my kids started in 6th grade. They came from a small Christian private school that they loved dearly. Wakefield has provided a loving environment on a more mature level. While the curriculum is challenging I feel they cater to each students level of learning. I love that they have the students participate in both sports and music. I do wish the music programs continued through high school. I'm overall very pleased as a parent.
