Northview High School

There's a lot of unaddressed bullying in this school. The children who hit and hurt others have no consequences, except for a call home.No follow up with the bullies, they just keep bullying the next child. Concerns are not taken seriously. Some of the teachers will openly speak negatively about their class or children to other parents; as a previous teacher, this should never be happening. It's apparent where the bullying & stress is stemming from. It's is a high stress environment, teachers are not sincere or welcoming.

I have two kids here and they are both thriving. The teachers are very responsive and everyone is kind. It feels that they are getting a private school education with a public school price tag.

This is a fabulous school — the principal, staff, and teachers are all so caring and helpful — and the academics are excellent. The students are challenged based on their needs/abilities, which are continually reassessed. We’re very grateful we had the opportunity to attend this school.

Not an easy transition when we moved towards the end of elementary school, my son struggled to adapt to the new environment both socially and academically, with little functional support from the school. We did arrive 1 year post COVID so that may have had something to do with it. As a parent, I feel the school is excellent. The front desk staff is wonderful, the teachers are fantastic and the rest of the staff are kind. My son struggled but he enjoyed the school. Heavy academic focus, preferential treatent to those with high standardized test scores and in TAG (Talented and Gifted). The school has many fun family nights and after school activiteis for families to be invovled.

I would not recommend this school. They put something in my son’s permanent school record that led to him being labelled. Woodward let the Caucasian student who did the action with my son off without anything being put in his record. This labeling followed my son to Woodward Academy main campus where he was picked out by staff and put in detention for minor offenses with the same African American boy nearly every day. It caused my family and son a lot of emotional distress. It led to my son not liking this school.
