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.

Overall Northwest has been a decent experience, nothing more, nothing less. The administration doesn't explain students' options very well which leaves many students who could be pursuing higher levels and excelling, in lowest-level classes, which sets them up to not perform well in college and/or the workforce.

My school is an average high school. There are improvements needed with the cafeteria options, administration, and the attendance process.
5.0 Senior
7/12/2023
Northwest is an amazing school in many ways. When you enter Northwest you feel different varieties of emotions as happiness, comfort, and last but not least compassion in learning. It is a very welcomed school with no reason to fear it, everyone welcomes you with a huge smile on our faces and happiness to meet new people.
