Northwest High School is definitely one of the best! I am a honor student and they always recognize me for my achievements.

This school is the most ignorant school I have ever been to. The teachers try to become event friends with the students and they don't help you when you say you need help with something.

3.0 Senior

I like that you are on your own as you come in as a Freshman and the teachers don't baby you. I do wish we can change the average performance of the teachers as in preparing us for college.
