NW is an average school but has the potential to be great. The majority teachers try there best to educate the students. Many teachers not only teach, they act as parent figures, help students financially, donate clothing, and encourage emotionally challenged students. The major issue I found however, as a former teacher/staff member, teachers cannot teach because they are too busy disciplining. A teacher has to call security, then it takes about 30 minutes of class time to settle the students and write an incident report, wasting valuable lesson time. Additionally, there are little to no consequences for students that act out and fight in the classroom. Students may get suspended for a day or two for there actions but laugh it off as a few days vacation. Many teachers endure disrespectful swearing, and some are scared and intimidated. Many kids walk the hallways with sagging pants disrupting other class rooms. I believe the leadership at NW truly means well, however there is a serious disciplinary problem that needs to be fixed. Some security at the school are more like friends with the students instead of disciplinarians. Fix this problem and this school will be great.
