Here at Northfield High school as a LGBTQ+ student, i feel valued and cared about with my teachers and academics. Peers are very supportive and strive to allow me to be the best i can be, mainly with academics. This response can be represented through all students across the board at this school.
2/7/2025
I enjoy going to Northfield High School as it allows me to meet new people and understand different cultures, while still having a good education and resources. I wish we could upgrade some of our amenities as it is still a growing school, but there will soon be not enough space for everyone to go there.

Overall we were very disappointed in Northfield HS and ultimately decided to leave after a year. Feels like they are still managing their rapid growth so a lot of logistical aspects were very disorganized. Kids seem to feel very disassociated from the school and there's little enthusiasm for school...

Can't say enough good things about this school. The best DPS school and one of the best in the state. State champs in so many things and academics are wonderful.
