Northwest high school is a very community-based school. Everyone knows each other, and teachers are kind and caring. Definitely a great place to go to school.

The majority of the teachers are very involved and are very fair and good teachers. There are a select few that aren't good and do not grade fairly.

We do not have a ton of extracurricular activities due to the fact that we are a small school.

Clearly, many the parents to NW students are unsatisfied with the high school. They should band together at PTO meetings and work towards improving their children's education. Oh, I'm sorry, we do not have a PTO. I forgot, the only parents who matter are those whose children play football.
