Ten years ago, it was a great school. Now, leadership is a joke and the district would rather shut the school down than support it.

Instead of actually teaching and doing class work during school they just assign homework
Posted: December 10, 2019
They spend more time in meetings and subs are occupying the students

Everybody is taught the same way in jr/sr high. Sink or swim mentality.

Wakefield High school is a great little school where the kids will learn to come together for their school and community. Its such a unique opportunity for the high school to interact with the elementary and for them to know they have the responsibility of being leaders because little eyes are always watching. Students can stay busy in athletics or help out with activities which leaves little downtime and makes them take ownership of their school. The teachers really care about their students and Bomber pride is felt deep within the school.

Wakefield Schools is a great place to raise a family! The small town charm is very welcoming! We moved to Wakefield as a military family and never left! We love this town and we love this school. Like any school you hear of bullying, but it is generally dealt w effectively! Its a greT school as a parent to be as involved as you want to be! Kids are loved here!

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 racist cruel environment that's just passed off as common farm town joking.

Not at all. They didn't even notify the bullies parent, and the victim gets in trouble when they fight back

This school provides an excellent learning environment for students. This is a great school with NO violence you would find in a larger school system. This school is all about sports and team building.

This school hasn't impressed me at all. A few good teachers, but mostly very unprofessional and two faced. I can't wait for my kids to get out of there, I would send them somewhere else if I could!
