WAKEFIELD — After being inadvertently left off Newsweek magazine’s Best High Schools list, Wakefield and seven other Wake County high schools have been added to the roster following a recalculation of the data.
In all, 12 Wake County high schools are on the news magazine’s list of best in the United States. The others are Apex, Athens Drive, Broughton, Cary, Enloe, Green Hope, Holly Springs, Leesville Road, Middle Creek, Millbrook and Panther Creek.
“When we first saw the list, we were alarmed that only four of our schools made
the list,” said David Holdzkom, Wake’s assistant superinten-dent for evaluation and research. “Using the Newsweek criteria, we re-examined all WCPSS high schools to see if any met the test used by Newsweek. We discovered eight of our schools had been left off the list in error.”
