This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

3/9/2024

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.

3.0 Junior

12/10/2023

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.
