The best part of my experience is the involvement of the teachers with the students. They make learning not only fun, but also actively help students with the support they need to succeed.

The best part of my experience is the athletics and math. The athletics teams have a very welcoming and family-like atmosphere. For math, we have a variety of levels that fit each student.

Northwood is humanities focused but has strong STEM classes. The teachers are almost always engaged and helpful.
