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.

It's a good school with lots of opportunities but lacks a bit in the creativity part. the lunch is okay but I wish we had more options. the teachers are okay. the classes are a little bleak but that's about all.

I enjoyed my time at Northwestern. I participated in quite a few sports there. Because I was excelling in math, I was able to double up in math in 10th and 11th grade which allowed me to take pre-calculus and calculus. The only thing I would change in Northwestern is to have an astronomer there because the school has a planetarium inside.

What i liked the most about DCP was the connections that I made from going there since the ninth grade cause I was a very interactive person so being in programs like trio upward bound, robotics, and academic games showed me that you never know who you would meet cause I have met a few people that can help me in the future with college or just advice that I need to get what I need to succeed in life. But if I could change anything it would be the way that some of the staff worked cause they might prepare you for things but their way of coming at things are not the best.

As a former student of Northwestern and might I add GRADUATE. I must say yes the school needs some work but overall it is a great school. Everyone is so hard on the teachers but in their defense they can only do so much. The main complaint I had was I found it unfair that because there were students...
