Summary:

Wakefield High is a public high school in Arlington County Public Schools, serving 2,766 students in grades 9-12. The school's diverse student population includes 44.58% Hispanic, 25.6% White, 18% African American, and 6.47% Asian students.

While Yorktown High and Washington-Liberty High in Arlington consistently outperform Wakefield High on statewide rankings and academic test scores, Wakefield faces challenges in maintaining academic performance and closing achievement gaps. The school has ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools for the past decade and maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. While White and multi-racial students at Wakefield perform well, other subgroups like Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students struggle, ranking in the bottom half or third of Virginia high schools.

Wakefield High's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the Arlington County and Virginia state averages, particularly in science subjects. However, the school performs better in math subjects like Algebra. With per-student spending decreasing and a higher student-teacher ratio than nearby high-performing schools, Wakefield High may need targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student success and close achievement gaps among its diverse population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Admin is very poor and has a clear problem with dealing with the overwhelming diverse student population. Classic discriminatory practices and overall neglect. Poor cafeteria and little to no student clubs and activities. Poor encouragement from teachers. Needs basic diversity training and a better management over student achievement Close Quote

Special education is not good. Very disappointed with quality of teaching from the special education teachers. Administration does not care. If you have a child who requires special education services, stay on top of it! Don't be afraid to take action. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
