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.

the administration needs to be worked and rules need to be figured out as well as properly enforced, there needs to be better ways to keep track of students and everyone shouldn't be impacted because of how others choose to use their time during school. i think the programs offered are great while some need improvement, and i think that the school can greatly improve in hiring and keeping good teachers.

Northwest High School has an environment that is welcoming and has many opportunities to get involved and meet new people. I loved being on the tennis team and in student government, that's where I have made some really good friendships being new to the district and school.

As a former student, I can honestly say Northwest prepared me very well for college. They are way better than Colerain but because of the Colerain being larger and more well known because of their athletics we are often looked down upon. If you're trying to decide between Northwest and Colerain as f...
