Safety concerns. Students are assaulted and faculty and Student Resource Officers only say they can’t prevent it from happening. They ignore and refuse to investigate issues or holdAnyone accountable.

The faculty and administrators of this school do not care about your students well being. As a honor student and as a lgbtqia+ student, the amount of bullying here is staggering. Students of the lgbtqia+ minority are shouted slurs and shoved into lockers as staff watch. The counselors allow this to happen to matter what. If a student take things in there own hands, they are punished. The teachers help bullying as they watch the student and say nothing. As a student on superintendents advisory the group does nothing but trouble. Adding the phone rule doesn’t quote “help stop bullying” quoted by the principal; Ms Gover. This makes the bullying go underground and promotes is after hour do the school will not have to deal with it. The staff are lacking as they are constantly gone and substitutes are constantly in the building. The yearbook staff lacks as the faculty members that runs it didn’t finished the book and rushed it, furthermore messing up previous work done by students. The only thing I’d say is good in this school is the orchestra teachers. They are wonderful teaches that prioritize the students well being. It’s sad that a orchestra teacher has to work more than a teacher and do things that the faculty should already do. The nurses here are also lacking, with them getting switched out constantly due to poor schedules. The cafeteria is constantly understaffed and many students aren’t fully even fed due to lack of food. Half of the food is lacking despite what the menu says. Bathrooms are limited to 3 trips per quarter per class. I’ve seen multiple students having to use other students books just for basic human functions. If I was you I would just go to Piqua or Mason as they are better schools. (Stating as a Northmont student.)

I absolutely love this school! I'm very pleased with the class sizes. It is a older school but very clean. Every teacher, secretary, and administrator, make Northwood a wonderful, safe place for your child to get an education.
