At Northwood there is a large variety of classes and extracurriculars available to students. Students are supported by teachers, coaches, and administration to pursue their goals. I would change the discipline. Students run wild without many consequences, and it can affect the whole student body.

My last two years at Northwood were my most memorable. Covid hit when I was a freshman so I spent the first half of high school online. Lots of great teachers but most ended up leaving due to: better job opportunities, issues with administrators or other staff, etc. Another issue that was prominent was teachers having to provide supplies out of their own pockets. Despite this, there were lots of different clubs, sports, and activities happening.

Parents, and everyone else whom posted on here clearly just dismisses the fact that most people get sexually assaulted, or harrassed by other students in other grade levels, or get teachers that nearly couldn't give a squat for your well-being. I, am a small person, so I typically hitch a ride on so...
