Niche Reviews
8/4/2024
I believe I started High School not knowing what the experience was going to be like. I never really knew what it was like to mature in the way that I have. I believe I have a completely different outlook on life itself. I have more confidence about my future which I never had before, I have more commitment to my future self and my goals, and I have an immense passion in a way that I don't quit till I achieve what I want. I believe that is the most significant change in high school. I believe in this school I was also able to grow my sophistication and how I portray my thoughts and express myself. Furthermore, by teaching me things like appreciating little things in life, finding one's meaning, advocating for change, embracing my femininity, and understanding my place in society, this class has allowed me to become a more confident, happy, passionate, and empathetic person.

The best part was having a good teacher, but the worst part was having a bad teacher. I would also like to see more opportunities for kids in athletics, and more effort put into the student body. The campus is nice, and it doesn't have that much trash, but a lot of people vape in the bathrooms and make it smell bad.

Had both kids graduate from NWH. This school is top notch in every way. When you hear your kids say college is easier than high school, you know you made a choice living in Northwood sending them to Northwood High.

There's a lot we've really loved about NHS. Our older son attended several years ago and now our daughter is there as well. I feel that both of our kids had good teachers (some better than others, as is typically at a high school), but overall, Northwood provides a good high school experience. We've...

My child is thriving at Northwood. He is doing well academically and has a great group of friends. Northwood has done an excellent job at creating a school community.
