Wakefield sponsors a team of students to participate in the locally televised quiz show, ''It's Academic''. The team's faculty advisor is Scott McKeown. The Warriors have been sending the team to Scholastic Bowl tournaments (in addition to ''It's Academic'') and have come home with multiple [[AAA National District|National District]] titles.
In the spring, the team hosts a tournament similar to the Saturday morning program for the other students and faculty of the school. They are to devise teams of 3 students and 1 faculty member of choice. Faculty most known to participate include Mr. Alfred Reid, Mr. Alan Beitler, Ms. Wendy Singer, and Mr. Thomas Cruger. ''It's Academic'' alumni are also known to come back and partake by reading questions or keeping scores. On the day of the tournament, teams are divided into two brackets, and play through an elimination tournament. The final two teams then play head-to-head in a closed-circuit televised event broadcast to the whole school. The winning team usually goes home with small trophies, as do selected players of superlative awards.
In the spring, the team hosts a tournament similar to the Saturday morning program for the other students and faculty of the school.
Games are usually played in four rounds: toss-up round, individual team round, faculty only round, and students only round. Questions include standard academic trivia, mathematic stumps, pop culture, and running jokes involving school faculty.
