I would like to see a change in administration. There's a lot of injustice and other things going on.
12/12/2024
I think the student body and spirit is really strong and it makes being at Northwest a more enjoyable experience. Overall, the teachers I had were pretty good but there were a few that weren't the best. There's not much I have to say in a negative aspect other than the communication between the staff and students could use some work. Otherwise Northwest is a great school to be at.

Northwest isn't a bad school to someone who doesn't go there , a lot of things could be better kept and upheld .The administration is the best thing known to northwest they are very pure people . The teachers are a hit or a miss some will love you and some will make sure you know that they don't like you . Our history teachers are lovely they are all kind and open minded people they make sure everyone is involved and makes a safe space for everyone . The bathrooms are not well kept and the kids smoke all the time in the bathroom so people have to wait to use to restroom . We have at lest 10 bathrooms but only 6 are open at all times . The bathroom are always closed because of the people who smoke so that's an inconvenience to the people who need to use the restrooms and can't . The students are also a hit or miss , the school is welcoming to an extent . We have a lot of clubs and sports ,Our student government group is amazing they have made so many changes to help us .

Faculty does not do their jobs, teachers do not prepare students well, counselors and admin are very unhelpful.

When buying the tickets for the football game one thing that is not under the rules that if I arrived late they wouldn’t let me come in. This made me upset because I already had paid the tickets.
