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.

My experience at Northwest has been great over all. Like any other schools they have their ups and downs. I do believe they do try and fix their down falls though. I have had a great time with teachers and administrators at our school they are one thing i feel like our school excels in. There is always someone you can go to for help with school or anything person. All of the things I could say are the schools down falls are not on the whole school usually it is one person decision to do something.

My experience is one that most people would love to have. The environment is friendly from teachers to students and the other way around. Teachers show composition toward their students' future and push them to become hard-working people in their post-secondary life. The different types of programs they offer have helped me strive towards the healthcare field after I graduate and I'm very grateful for that because without it I would be lost as a senior about to go into the real world.

The experience I had at Northwest high school overall was A good experience. Being enrolled in a public high school is an adventure on its own. Academics were great, but the school was for sure falling apart. The ceilings dripped during rainstorms and the hallways were lined with trashcans and black mold. Bu tyou know do it for the plot guys

I have two former successful students who graduated and spent their entire High School years attending this school. They never experienced bullying at the school. They were college prepared and motivated.
