I've enjoyed my four years at Northwest Catholic. The classes have been challenging and there are some great teachers. I've been active in several clubs and played a varsity sport. The school is small and you know everyone which may not be for everyone. However, I like that the teachers know me and I feel comfortable approaching them and talking to them.

Bad: lack of AP classes, few honors, old facilities, very old and limited labs, poor music program, overly dogmatic curriculum compared to other Catholic high schools. No computer science. Little choice in...
