I had a great experience at Northwest High School. I have a learning disability and their special education program is one of the best.
2/24/2025
I would like to see a change in administration. There's a lot of injustice and other things going on.

This school is a great school for children who want to learn it's hard when you don't give your all or try but teachers are very motivating with knowledge and also very diverse school and great sports

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.
