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.

Northwestern Junior/Senior High School is part of a great community of people who fully support all academics, sports and activities. While being a small rural school Northwestern has a very good reputation for college readiness, all the teachers and staff are very supportive and helpful with students futures.
