My experience with Northwood was good, there were a few ups and downs, but I was able to get through them. The best parts of my experience was the friends and teachers I made along the way. The worst parts were how stressful some of the classes are, we have AP/Dual enrollment classes that prepare you for college. They are helpful, but very difficult/stressful, but you can overcome them even if they are difficult.

Amazing faculty that just want the students to advance. They focus on the students and always encourage to strive for more. Senior counselors provide good resources which is extremely helpful. Teachers are very nice and actually teach instead of just presenting material. Very good school

My experience at Northwood High School have been so far really good there is a lot of opportunities for education and a lot of opportunities to discover different cultures . Although it's a really good High school Northwood still has some flaws like the fact that the school building is really old and the classes are small

Northwood has been an amazing school for my son. His experience in the GTLD program has made him love school and helped him be an extremely successful student. The staff has been wonderful and great at communication. I haven't encountered anything that matches the negative picture these statistic pa...

I think the low test scores at this school are a reflection of the high percentage of students who are English langauge learners. The ESOL program and department, which is very large, is amazing and consists of a team of very hardworking, dedicated professional teachers who give their all every day...
