honestly it's a public school in rural Louisiana. It makes sense that it isn't the safest or most preparing.

I had an overall nice experience. There was plenty of one on one learning, strong bonds with fellow students, and a nice community.

THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE. DO NOT send your kids here. CLIQUES, BULLYING, SPORTS rule this school. they agree with the bullies, and they show favortism. If you can help it do not send your DOG to this school.

I am a parent and a Rapides Parish teacher. Northwood is just like all other highschools. I have found: if you put something in a program then all will prosper.
