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 teachers here work really hard to help students and as long as you are willing to put in the work you will get a quality education.

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.
