Love this school! IB at east or law at Northeast has nothing on the love and culture at nw. Great teachers, great experience.
2/8/2024
In general, at Northwest Highschool I had a pleasant experience. There are not a lot of extra opportunities through the school, but there are still some. Faculty are very nice.

Pretty good school overall. I went there all four years and even through the pandemic we were still able to learn well, dispite it being all virtual for the most part. Overall I rate my experience at Northwest a 4, really good school with loads of opportunities to be involved and very reliable and awesome staff:)
