GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Northwest has been consistent in providing a quality education to its students. I have never once felt as though I am being left behind in class and have always felt pushed to do more. I am grateful for my time at Northwest and believe that it is a good fit for anyone looking to receive an education i an environment that is fair to all and a small school setting.

The teachers are very nice but the lack of bullying protocol and many kids that push others down to get ahead bring the rating down. The teachers are the nicest part of the school especially if you count that you can buy homework passes and get out of detention cards.

Northwest is a wonderful school. In all reality, it truly is. We have certain rules that some people aren't too thrilled with, like phone policies and such, but the education is great and so are the experiences. I've really loved growing up in a school where I feel safe and I know that my education actually means something.
