GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

To me, Northwood was a great middle school during my year. It has lots of diversity and staffs were considerate and friendly. Especially the school counselors and office staffs, they were like friends to me and they listen to my burdens and problems I was facing. The only improvement they could make is their academics. I believe the level they were sitting at is too low, they could really raise the bar and give students more challenges and opportunities to achieve better. The courses Northwood offers are relatively diverse. Besides general education, this school also has robotics, woodshop, high school physical education and bands. PE is a requirement, if you do not like running for an extended time, I don't recommend this school. The school's environment was comfortable too. It was very rare to hear bullying and negative news happening in my school. The lunch food they provide was okay on the other hand, it was either pizza or sandwich with salad.
