Northwest gets a bad rap due to testing scores. With “no student left behind” policies across the United States, I feel that elementary schools with a majority of language and learning barriers, don’t have the flexibility to give the children who require the time and attention they really deserve to help them get ahead. To me, not allowing student to be split into classes where students at the same level are taught together, creates such a difficult and confusing learning environment. (God bless all teachers in the US who have risen to the challenges in this day and age). Northwest however, does everything they can to give ALL students a fair chance. Teachers and staff at Northwest are encouraging, attentive, experienced and in my opinion, go above and beyond for the students in every grade here. Being a somewhat small school compared to others, there is a real family atmosphere here and an “everyone knows everyone” kind of feeling. Students don’t get lost in the shuffle. Northwest’s specialized programs for students who need extra assistance do their best to help and encourage them to help them get ahead. If families and students are willing to put forth the effort, it makes for a great experience at Northwest! Don’t just look at the numbers.

This school isn't the worst Christian school your child could attend, but you need to be weary. Ask for proof for the teachers certifications and schooling. I found out that many of the teachers here do not have teaching degrees. Some are parents of students with little to not college. How can you promote a school without qualified teaches teaching in it. They also do not care about the well being of the students. There have been some students in attendance that have been kicked out of their schools because of behavioral issues, but they only get talked to in this school. I want my kid to be safe not bullied in a private school.

I had a horrific experience here, as did my three other siblings. The best thing my parents did for me was pulling me out of this school and putting me in Cedar Crest. At least there diversity is acceptable.
