Not the best school I took my kids to. The discipline was good, but the arts program and athletics did not seem too developed. Also, Spanish was not allowed to be spoken(unless lunch), so that dropped my rating of this school overall.

Northwoods is the ONLY school for my children! As a single mom, I had to plan over a year in advance to have the finances available and to move to this side of town, just so my children could go to NCS. The benefits are evident every day that I see my sons (6, 8) share their knowledge, respect, and
