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.

My experience has been good thus far despite minor hiccups. I do wish the school can implement more college ready courses and resources for students, especially seniors

Miami Northwestern Senior High School isn't the best all around school, although I was able to put myself in an amazing environment and make the best out of it. I was able to become a dual enrollment student and surround myself around kids who are as smart or even smarter than I am. I would like to see the school be more hard on students about academics and college readiness.
