I like Wake Christian's teachers and think the education system is really well done. They did their best to give students an option to do either in person or online when COVID-19 was happening, and I appreciated that. They could improve on the budget for the band and strings as they've had the same things for years. Overall, I really enjoyed being enrolled at Wake Christian.
