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 high school experience was one of the loneliest times of my life after losing my grandpa to covid. One they did not take Covid seriously at all, and two offered no support to students who lost relatives during Covid. Yes they may achieve good test scores or whatever but I can tell you from experience they give off the impression they don't care.

Northwest High School has excellent teachers who go above and beyond school requirements to ensure kids are receiving the help with education needed to succeed. Where some high schools have "academies" and limit to only a few fields, Northwest High School has a wonderful program where they tailor the high school "career" to what you want to study in college, or if not going to college, continue with after high school to have a successful life.
