The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Mr. Nyhus rocks. Take plant science, it changed my life. Mr. Nyhus was very passionate about his job and did a great job teaching.

The best parts about Northwestern is how the teachers are so personal. They get to know you on a personal level. The worst part about Northwestern is the community involvement.
