Northwest has been a very great school to attend I just wish to see more friendly students and more fairness from staff

The best parts of my high school experience was meeting new people and teachers, I also liked the some of the classes I have taken. I haven't had any worst experiences but I would like less strict rules when it comes to being places for lunch or hall passes. And possibly more diversity. Overall there are many great teachers and classes, and good memories I've had.

School does not even match national averages for SAT scores. Bullying is prevalent. Please consider homeschooling before sending your kids here.

They do not deserve one star. But there was no other choice.
