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 in Northwood High School began in 2015 when I was a freshman. Throughout these past four years, there have been many excellent opportunities offered to me because of my school and the education I have been provided with. I recommend this school because of the educations, friendliness, college readiness, and last but not least, the preparation I have been given for life.

Wouldn't have traded my years at NHS for anything.

The extracurricular activities are somewhat fun. If a student wanted to start a club, they probably could with the permission of the principal. I enjoy going to the foreign language club. The teachers are always at the club meetings and they answer any question you have.
