In a nutshell: Teachers can't handle the kids at this school. Three of my child's classes have consent interruptions to the point of no learning. One teacher told us that they have to teach themselves (I'm assuming online course). I don't blame the teacher. It's the general feeling at the school of kids getting away with too much. The children rarely have homework. The gym teacher plays inappropriate music including the f--k word. High number of hispanics who have not mastered the English language (despite being in bi lingual classes from day one) which slows thing down, and I wonder if they haven't lowered their standards because of this. "Poor" Hispanic kids get special gifts. I'm not heartless, but I find it hard to believe that people driving new SUV's are poor. I put one star for diversity because there really isn't any although people call this school divers. It's basically about 50% hispanic, and the rest is mostly white.

The vast majority of the teachers at Northwood are truly outstanding in their craft (and I don't say that easily). One received a golden apple recently, and I can think of several others who should receive one too. Like most public schools, Northwood has some mediocre teachers also who are kept arou...

Now with 2 kids at Northwood I continue to be more impressed with the dedication of the teachers and staff. Each child is well known, strengths and weaknesses, and challenged accordingly. This is the most diverse school in Highland Park, with kids from Fort Sheridan and Highwood. Due to the nature o...
