Summary:

The 67487 zip code is home to a single high school, Wakefield High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively small student body of 75 students, its academic performance has been a concern, with the school ranking in the bottom half of Clay County high schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wakefield High's graduation rate of 89.5% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.3% is lower than the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state average, indicating potential issues with student engagement and attendance. Academically, Wakefield High's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the Clay County district and state averages, with only 31.25% of students proficient or better in these subjects in 2024-2025.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 in 2023-2024, which could be an asset if the resources are being used effectively to support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students (54.67% in 2023-2024) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Wakefield High serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles. Overall, the data indicates that Wakefield High is a struggling school that may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes.
