Northwest was overall a good experience. The teacher were good at what they do. The sport teams are not the best, but there is two gym there so athletic activities such as weight training isn't lacking. The shop class teachers are some of the best there is.

The teachers really care about students and their education. Northwest has a great staff. They also have one of the best high school track teams in Omaha Nebraska.
