Omg!! Finally me and my nine year-old have found a real School. Where are the teacher care? They help your kids all of the staff from the Dean… to the lady in the office the nurses psychiatrist everyone even the janitor speaks to you and say hello very friendly normal people like I remember when I went to school 30 years ago.. my son has traveled too many schools about five or more and I’m pleased to say this School is a really nice school. Kids will be kids however it really helps when you have caring people who teach your kids every day.. And my son say they have skilled teachers lol and he loves all of his teachers.

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.
