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.

I love the design and feel of the school overall, but the teachers are not very good and are not always willing to help.

Senior Seminar is the best part about Northwestern. I only went there my senior year of high school. this project prepares students for after high school. I have received many scholarships thanks to the senior seminar project.

It is a very good school with all the teacher being invested to help you no matter what. Lots of the kids there are very nice, and it feels like you have a family. I'm in the band, so we are a family because we work together to create great performances. Wether it be on the field during a half time show or on the stage during concert band we put our all in to the performances. So I would highly recommend this school to any one looking to move in to the district or wanting to send ur kid to school here.
